FULL CIRCLE,
or the Eternal Loop of Time,
a Game for Immortals and Adventurers
or the Eternal Loop of Time,
a Game for Immortals and Adventurers
Driving towards home I rubberneck the view of the dead rabbit on the road as I speed by in my car.
The Image is burned forever in my brain not because it is particularly gruesome or horrific but because of the fact that I just past the spot where a LIFE turned to DEATH. The four books that I had just purchased from the local Borders Bookstore screamed out laughing in the passenger seat. They all basically held within their pages variously laid out themes of Humanity at the Crossroads with Death and Life. I arrive home and let the dogs out and sit in the backyard with the books and my camera. These are some of the Odd pictures I took. They appear normal yet Capture a moment of Time that was Lovecraftean in feel and scope. The wide mouth of Time yawned open wide and behind the scrub brush that grows surrounding my sacred circle I saw infinity whispering my name. The tree being enveloped by the Green of Nature has died and New growth sprouts under the memory of it's former canopy. The rake against the other tree placed there over a week ago when I was ambtious enough to try and tackle the strong growth of weeds. The next view is of the wheelbarrow and my red yard buckett that lay where I left them full of remnants that I had not figured out where to really place,, a new compost mound in the making??
This pile of deadwood and plants pulled from the yard struck something within me that I am not really sure how to explain. FULL CIRCLE were the words I thought. Full circle trip through time. And I was reminded that I had started blogging last year at the Fourth of July and realized that one of my old TimeRip Rituals had sank its claws into my head and screamed out for validation that it had succeeded in making SupraDimensional contact with my(?) Higher Self.Little Scott just stared at the backyard like it was some God coming to Rapture me away to Eternity while the shell of my body remained sitting in the lawn chair on a Sunday afternoon. My teepee frame was in front of me and to my left was my spiral ov
ergrown with heavy grasses that seem to sprout 2 new inches a day. The compost pile steamed with transformations of former Life into New Life, making dirt was an artform that I had finally had success with and the small 1/2 acre hummed with bees, insects, birds, rabbits and such as can be found in suburbia.

The wildflowers and milkweed beemed at the pleasure to be allowed to grow without disturbing their rhythm. I had always looked upon weeds as wonders in their own right.
The TimeRip slipped again and the dogs in the lot howled to something that I could barely hear I thought, a hum, a tonal note that emanated from the cosmos. Something wonderful transpired as I got off of the Bandwagon of Consensual Reality and rode down the road of Infinite Possibilities.
This past year of blogging has been an adventure that I had not realized would affect me in such a way. I have made contact with others who reach out with their Poetry, Thinking Minds, thoughts, words and art to multiply my own awareness of the interconnections that we all have on this BlueDot called Earth. I found that my ability to TRANSFORM Reality was such that I could do much harm or good. I made contact with a Dog, CRYSTAL who changed my life, and sadly this past week came to our hospital to be put to sleep at the age of 10years+. I flash back to my very first blog which I have copied and linked to below, No one commented on it and I was not surprized because few would understand that The Meme is changing ........
Is The Meme Changing? Does the Morphigenic Field become perturbed in someway when I have a flash of realization and figure out a different way of being, for myself and the rest of 'reality'...?
Somehow or another, I have came up with[ what some would swear is a mismash of thought] patterns that I verify in my life as having a conscious effect on the Universe I behold, outside of my self? Creating Reality is a simplified term that has been slandered by 'realist' who don't see the forest for the trees.
Todays Reality Problem is that :
IF THEY SAW THE FOREST
they would clear cut it for profit.!!
So the question becomes, how to introduce the forest to the sheep.
{Especially the sheep in wolves clothing}

"Todays Reality Problem is that :

Scott, my husband, son and I are looking to buy some land. Yesterday the realtor brought us to look at a 6 acre plot that was once some nice woods with birch, hemlock, ferns, moss and a shady little brook. Can you guess what it is now? A battlefield where the trees lost the battle. Slaughtered dead trees lying everywhich way. An old crushed gatorade bottle left behind to signify the loggers were there.
I suppose they will use the trees for timber and sell the plot for a suburban type house. It's level. Has good road frontage. Soon that whole area will be neat little subdivisions with lawns and weedkiller. Things change, I know. Still, it made me sad.
I'm sorry about Crystal.
Beautifully written, profound, thought provoking, clear and strong post.
We are all growing at a rapid rate now are we not my friend?
And .... I laughed when I saw the foot picture, made me beam and smile....
sheep, those sheep certainly have reproduced haven't they? Unfortuantely I think those sheep costumes are starting to look rather tattered and cheap ... hence the disguise is slowly not working.
??? Am I developing hope? Seems to be an atribute of my newly developing character....
So good to "hear" your voice again.
Peace and Blessings.

I'd like to think that thought/consciousness directly affects reality, especially if it's just the more enlightened variety. But if enlighted thought affects reality, maybe unenlightened thought does do. Maybe that's why things are such a mess in so many ways...
Or maybe thought doesn't directly affect reality. It's hard to see any evidence for it...
I know what you mean about the image being imprinted in your mind forever. For some reason that happens to me a lot when I see animals who were killed by cars along the road. It just reminds me of how were taking the world away from them and invading in their territory to make it easier for us to get around.
I liked your photographs :)
Hey Everyone!
Kate, Ironically I traveled down a road that I often use to get to one of my pet sitting jobs and today, WELL A HUGE FOREST was GONE. The last time I went down the road it was there, today gone, and huge bulldozers making way for more subdivisions. I about retched in my car, I physically got sick as I passed by and fought back tears thinking of all the displaced/killed animals that once called this section of Carolina HOME. Personally I think America could do with a halt to "Growth" for a year or two,, I think we need to address alot of different issues here, the killing of wildlife just one. SO SAD. Thanks for the thought about Crystal the Wonderful Dog who changed my life. She was a beautiful being.
Little Sparrow,,, damn it is good to 'Hear' you too!! I think I am due to make a phone call North and we speak in person. I like your 'newly developing character',,, it becomes you greatly.
I hope you are well, we must talk soon on the phone,, OK?
Darius, Thoughts definitely affect our world, Reality is what we make of it, collectively we have just got a bigger pie to share. Thanks for returning to see what I am up too,, I will have to comment on your 'gospel' soon. I like what I have read on your blog,, very interesting and well thought out.
Matt!! How are you doing?? Thanks for keeping me on you list of blogs to visit. I have been AWOL for a long while and just now getting back into the 'groove' of blogging again. I have been taking photos like crazy lately,, and hope to use more on the blog. I am seeing the world so much more differently now,,,, and sometimes words do not do justice. Great to hear from you,, and I am due to visit you in return soon, promise as I love your thoughts on EMPATHY!!!
Bulldozers ripped down more than 50 mature oak trees a half mile from my home in order to make way for a widened street for a huge development. My daughters and I were so disturbed by the carnage of the oaks!
Since then I have not had the heart to kill one baby oak tree in my yard. I get quite a few seedlings because there are three oaks across the street. I guess I'll just keep cutting them back in the fall. This little property of mine is going to look quite odd in years to come.
Scott, I really enjoy reading your philosophy. Everything's round. Beyond the dead rabbit in the road is a wee little baby rabbit munching grass.
Sorry about the pup.
I know that death is part of the life cycle, but it still sucks when your dog friends pass away.
peace...
Hey Anne and Sandra,,, yes,, Cycles cycles cycles,,,, makes me want to .... buy a cycle and hit the road sometimes... lol
Thanks for the visits,, love you both,
