Paul told me the other day that "we ride our own karmic wave". I'm fairly certain this statement was entwined within a discussion of ancient Sumerian achievements and Par Lagerkvist novels. 10 minute conversations with Paul can be like that sometimes...
Anyway... I liked the idea. A wave... something inherently ocillatory. Something you can increase the range/frequency of by adding more energy to the system. Something that radiates out from the forceful introduction of a momentarily foreign object into the encompassing sea of time and space.
It has been a meditative tool all week. Good for both the micro and macro landscapes of the moment.
At a personal level... found out a good friend may have cancer, my bike got stolen, locked myself out of my truck. But... after that... perspective (and carnations) from Paul, a new (faster) bike, and the exploration of new human intimacies.
At a macro level... Russia has just invaded Georgia, is threatening punishment of the Polish/US missile defense installation... and I now fear that the new militant era of global resource consolidation has just announced it's second major offensive player. In optimistic naivite I cross my fingers and wonder if this might further promote the embrace of non carbon-based energies. But, who knows, maybe it just means we are closer to wiping mankind off the planet alogether. Hmmm... ever notice that it get's harder to define the baseline for positive & negative the farther you extrapolate from yourself?
