SEEING THROUGH THE VEIL

So it seems New Mexico is being invaded on an epic biblical level by Miller Moths this year.

I have 12 lilac bushes lining my driveway and the swarm is absolutely massive! And somehow very magical…

I am always fascinated by these occasional eruptions by Mother Nature. It’s as if she is having to shout to get our attention—to make herself heard.

They way things are in the world these days, I expect we will be seeing more of these rants… 

So what was bugging the Red Queen so much? She had such a nasty temperament, it must have been unbearable to be in her head. So maybe she was trying to get some relief by cutting off other people’s heads…

Or maybe she just suffered a failure of imagination, and this was the only thing she could think of when someone crossed her? 

Let’s try to think of new options…

What makes us seek OBLIVION—the need to alter our consciousness, escape the current point of view? This urge is not limited to the human species. I wonder if it is an attempt to use those parts of our brain that sit idle most of the time. Like an amateur contortionist, we try to rearrange those unused parts into a shape we haven’t seen before…are we the Lotus Eaters?

Is Time something we can’t live without? Just wondering…
