Flowers do not dream of bees and butterflies

Flowers blossom.

The bees then arrive, flying

And the dragonfly already enjoys the summer.

Living things tend to change unrecognizably as they grow.  Who would deduce the dragonfly from the larva, the iris from the bud, the lawyer from the infant? Flora or fauna, we are all still shape-shifters and magical reinvents. Life is really a plural noun, a caravan of selves.

一 Diane Ackerman

Life is a wave of creative consciousness rippling through space and time that we have the honour of aesthetically surfing.

一 Alex Grey

As you go the way of life,

You will see a great chasm. Jump.

It is not as wide as you think.

一 Joseph Campbell 

我獨異於人，而貴食母。

                                     ➥母為 ➠  有、名萬物之母。

道德經: 第二十章

絕學無憂，唯之與阿，相去幾何？善之與惡，相去若何？人之所畏，不可不畏。荒兮其未央哉！衆人熙熙，如享太牢，如春登臺。我獨怕兮其未兆；如嬰兒之未孩；儽儽兮若無所歸。衆人皆有餘，而我獨若遺。我愚人之心也哉！沌沌兮，俗人昭昭，我獨若昏。俗人察察，我獨悶悶。澹兮其若海，飂兮若無止，衆人皆有以，而我獨頑似鄙。我獨異於人，而貴食母。
