Turkey Vultures. Close up, they look like Freddy Kruger, but they`re majestic gliders and hunters. I think I befriended a couple after throwing some bone scraps into the forest. Now they seem to hover over me wherever I go, honoring me with their presence.

In 1974, William Burroughs was in New York City to visit an occult bookstore called Magickal Childe, in search of the book Necronomicon. Said Khem Caighan, the illustrator of the book:
“After going through the pages and a few lines of powder, he offered the comment that it was ‘good shit.’ He might have meant the manuscript too.”

Hiking in the valley of oranges and snow with my son Oliver. Three days ago 80cm snow landed here overnight and traumatised the citrus fruit. Now they are glowing red and yellow again.

You’re not going to solve the problem by sitting and thinking or talking, but by walking, not thinking, and being - with trees.

Plasma is the most common form of matter in the universe, making up 99 percent of the known universe, including our sun and the stars.
Several renowned scientists - including David Bohm, Marcel Griaule, Germaine Dieterlen, Paul Dirac, Peter Mitchell, and Chandra Wickramasinghe - have proposed that plasma may be intelligent, exhibit sentience, or at least act as a medium through which consciousness may manifest itself. Bohm was a physicist who developed the “implicate order” theory, which proposes that reality is a unified whole where physical objects exist as interrelated patterns of energy. Griaule and Dieterlen were French anthropologists who worked in West Africa and studied the Dogon culture, which has a sophisticated mythology that includes references to extraterrestrial influences and advanced knowledge of the Sirius star system. Dirac was a Nobel Laureate in Physics who made important contributions to the study of quantum mechanics. Mitchell was a Nobel Laureate in Chemistry who developed the chemiosmotic theory of energy transduction in cells. Wickramasinghe is an astrophysicist who proposed the panspermia theory, which suggests that life exists throughout the universe and can be transported from one place to another in the form of microorganisms.
Somehow all these scientists honed in on the idea that the entirety of the universe may be conscious, and the sun itself a neuronal link in its architecture, the node that feeds and collects everything we experience, feel, do, and learn on this planet.
Just an idea to entertain when you observe the next sunrise, to give it an extra tinge.
