Proposal:
- our planet functions as a single organism
- conditions are maintained for its survival
Atmospheric chemist, James Lovelock, published his controversial
idea in a 1979 book. Out of the Gaia Hypothesis, several interesting
ideas and many new areas of research arise. While his hypothesis is
not substantiated, it provides useful lessons in the interaction of
physical, chemical, geological, and biological processes on Earth
and in developing a more healing spiritual quest for man. It is a
good starting point for changing human perception and action, a way
to honour and resurrect healing and earth-sensitive, primitive
methods. Earth Sensitive
I am earth sensitive.
My thoughts tornado,
I reach upwards and stretch
beyond what I see, to lift myself out. I am an organism of the
earth.
I am chaos and order.
I want to be understood, don't care if I'm not.
I simply want to be, yet struggle with control.
I see the beauty, but feel the pain.
I see the dying, yet feel blessed.
I feel life and want to die.
I then feel fear death, so seek life.
I honour grief, yet I'm angry at pain.
Understanding, I stand under confusion.
I seek truth in lies, so lie about truth.
I seek lies in truth, so ignore truth. I am earth sensitive.
Inside, I hunger for life outside
Outside I feel too much so return inside
Inside, I write about outside sensitivities.
A quick note becomes a life treatise.
My life treatise is a quick note.
I remain inside when I want out.
I stay outside and ache to go in. Confused, I feel sure.
Feeling sure, brings confusion.
I feel right and look wrong.
Too much to do,
I fear little accomplishment.
I look right and feel wrong.
Completed projects bring worry of work.
I make chaos out of order.
I make order out of chaos.
I am order and chaos.
I order chaos. Out of my thought tornado,
I reach upwards and stretch
beyond what I see, to lift myself out.
Trusting to survive, I survive.
Surviving to trust, I trust.
I trust to survive and survive a trust
I'm earth sensitive. |
