Learning Space & How To Breathe

All that breathes is holy. William Blake

Learning wisdom is learning space, learning space is learning wisdom. Dogen

It's amazing how utterly deaf people are to Nature's voice. For the past several months Nature has been broadcasting the one message loud and clear for everyone to hear: your society is too crowded, your society does not respect space, your society needs to get back in line with Nature's dictates. This is it. That's all she's been saying. And we have listened to a point, but only in order to get back to where we were. This is not good. Nature will not be duped so easily. The changes must be for good not for a few months until the holiday season comes along, or people get bored. But the real holiday as we all should know by now is the holy day and the day that can breathe. But the day can't breathe. It's shrouded in smog and pollution and man's growing nonsense. Only by returning to Nature's ways, the way of space (look at how the animals live) will we return to any modicum of health (and holiness). We must learn space, its' that simple, and the best way to learn space is by going into space, into the hills, into the woods, along the coast, up there on the desolate moors, on your own two feet. This is how we gain vision, by being in space - by Being that has been rendered spacious through the glorious and universal trinity of self-locomoting, self-locating, and self localizing. This vision gives us wisdom, both words deriving from the same root 'vise'. Here, we gather up wisdom, vision, and Nature's 'ad-vising'. This is how we 'see', and breathe. And seeing is everything. Breathing too.
