Rain Begetting Lightning
Little fields have big fields
Upon their backs to bite 'em,
And big fields have bigger fields
And so ad infinitum.
(Alan Watts, 1966)
Little systems have open systems
Upon their boundaries to bite 'em,
And open systems have ecological metasystems
And so ad infinitum.
Within systems have withouting systems
Upon our boundaries to right 'em,
And withouting ecosystems beget withining coarising consciousness
And so ad infinitum.
We are raining,
withouting leading withining.
We are thereby paining,
withining leading withouting.
Responsive straining and explaining,
withouting dissonating withining.
We are training
Left-withouting leading Right-withining.
We are lightning
withining co-gravitating withouting
co-arising withining...
