There is the spider
diligently, she works on the web.
When done, she lays on her work,
and watches it manifest into a tool of survival.
Then, there are the insects her web traps
They are the same size as the spider,
the same matter,
the same mother,
same direct creator and perceiver.
Their tools,
their perception,
set them apart from the spider
their perception,
set them apart from the spider
because of this, they are blind and vulnerable to the web
How amusing that one creature's life is another's death.
yet they both ultimately exist to depend on each other.
The insects and the spider share eyes, for within the eyes hold the infinity of Existence
yet they carry perceptions which keep them apart -leading death to one and life to another.
Difference in perception is the gravity which allows
the cycle to exist without end
o
death
life
death
life

Before the perception, is the awareness.
before, after,
within and around
the awareness are the black holes of creation
8
here lies infinite possibilities
within and around
the awareness are the black holes of creation
8
here lies infinite possibilities
for, as we have learned, all can be divided without end
Awareness,
needs not life, nor death for it just is
Content, without desire for movement
it is the pause between the inhale and exhale.
Then, there is the human,
the perceiver of the spider, the spider's web and the trapped insects
I sit by the spider, watch it work, watch it's work come to life,
finally, watch the trapping, struggle and death of the other insects.
I can study the web, it's patterns, and by it, understand the workings of
Nature
Here I learn that the nature of all things work in pattern
the pattern is the skirt of Nature's creator
as I perceive Nature, I am also being perceived
the pattern
the division
never ends
for around every circle, another can be drawn
The Great Transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson writes,
THE EYE is the first circle; the horizon which it forms is the second; and throughout nature this primary picture is repeated without end. It is the highest emblem in the cipher of the world. [...] Our life is an apprenticeship to the truth that around every circle another can be drawn; that there is no end in nature, but every end is a beginning; that there is always another dawn risen on mid-noon, and under every deep a lower deep opens. |
