Entangled in the ordinary . . .

It's the Satyr's day . . . cloud cover from Helena is moving into TulseyTown but without rain . . .

Extraordinary is too extraordinary a word. – David Whyte

So, how bad was Helena? Usually, pictures are worth the proverbial thousand words. Not this time. Well beyond extraordinary, Heather Cox Richardson posted an overview on Letters from An American.

Quantum entanaglement in the brain. Cognition is not the same thing as the consciousness which contains it. Here's my take: consciousness is totally entangled at speeds that cannot be measured as they are faster than the speed of light, measurement of which is dependent upon particles, while cognition is a physical property of particles (neurons) engaged in gap-jumping-interconnectedness at a measurable speed-of-light. How one might demonstrate this in a lab I've no idea, but would seem to me to be a tautology from the get-go.

Minding the gaps in the mind.

Extraordinarily Ordinary

Seemingly adrift in The Watercourse Way,

each and all, the ordinary and extraordinary:

infused with mysteries. We are ordinary mystics.

There are moments when differences collapse

into singular, undifferentiated experience.

There are no words here.The silent vista

of the Grand Canyon, nor the back shore

of Peaks Island, Maine during a Nor'easter

cannot be embraced by the words

“awe” and “thankful,” even while being
filled with a gratitude the dimensions of which
we were not previously aware we possessed.
