“ Now place the same two before a creek in a woodland. The creek flows by with its liquid sound and a third voice enters the exchange. This voice is unlike theirs. It has neither word nor opinion, and flows with the deepest imaginable neutrality. There is nothing red or blue, left or right about its passage. Whatever arguments our two antagonists can throw at it, it’ll flow the same. It’s not merely nonpartisan, but pre-partisan, sub-partisan, unable to be part-isan because it is of the whole. It is the same with the willow, alder and maple around them, and the sound of bird-calls in their branches, wind through the many shapes of leaves.”

All the things in the cosmos are together in one place.

Each thing is moved by nature’s pattern.

Signals give direction.

The whole divides in to parts. 🧬

The parts move around and in and out of each other.

Like water flowing in rivers 💦 and oceans 🌊 and changing into vapor 💨 and snow ⛄️❄️and ice 🧊.

The water flows in and out of creatures 🐿️ and plants 🌱.

Every part is circulating. 💫☄️🪐⛈️🦠🧬🌪️

Everything in the UNIverse fits 🧩 because each part belongs to ONE whole cosmic song 🎶 and dance 🕺🏻 💃🏻
