We need to feel empowered to make our choices conciously, about how to deal with changes in life, rather than reacting in fear (which tends to make us blind and weak). I think that awareness is paramount, because in awareness we gain understanding, which then enables us to regain our feeling of empowerment. The word God can mean whatever you believe it to mean, for me it is the conscious stream of life from which we all come, and to which we can stayĬonnected throughout our lives as a source of peace, wisdom, love, support, knowing, inspiration, vitality, security, balance, and inner strength. What do I make of all this texture? What does it mean about the kind of world in which I have been set down? The texture of the world, its filigree and scrollwork, means that there is a possibility for beauty here, a beauty inexhaustible in its complexity, which opens to my knock, which answers in me a call I do not remember calling, and which trains me to the wild and extravagant nature of the spirit I seek. Where is the one thing you care about in earth, the molding of one face? The relief globe couldn’t begin to show trees, between whose overlapping boughs birds raise broods, or the furrows in bark, where whole creatures, creatures easily visible, live our their lives and call it world enough. What if you had an enormous globe that was so huge it showed roads and houses- a geological survey globe, a quarter of a mile to an inch- of the whole world, and the ocean floor! Looking at it, you would know what had to be left out: the free-standing sculptural arrangement of furniture in rooms, the jumble of broken rocks in the creek bed, tools in a box, labyrinthine ocean liners, the shape of snapdragons, walrus. It is all so sculptured, three-dimensional, casting a shadow.
These heights are just suggested they’re there….when I think of walking across a continent I think of all the neighborhood hills, the tiny grades up which children drag their sleds. Think of a contour globe, whose mountain ranges cast shadows, whose continents rise in bas-relief above the oceans. Think of a globe, a revolving globe on a stand.
