    That’s me <3

    I hate it when people come along and then try to project any meaning onto all of this or anthropomorphize it. I think the most impressive thing is rather that all these abiotic and biotic entities and interactions exist without any greater plan to them and without any aim. Just one thing leading to another. And I love how it all just exists :)

      I found this quote by Lao-Tzu from the book Tao The Watercourse Way by Alan Watts, especially apt,”Whenever there is no desire, one beholds a mystery; Whenever there is desire, one beholds the manifestations.”

      Same. Nature doesn’t need some greater purpose or plan. It is pretty great all on it’s own. That is why I absolutely love Nonlinear Dynamics so much.

    Sunlight, all light really is absolutely fucking mind blowing.

    Hell, all things are absolutely mind blowing when you get down to the point that you’re discussing excitations of this or that specific field…

      Sunny days just after a rain are even better. The plants are happiest, the birds are out hunting worms and bugs. Plus you just got a free car wash*.

    Oooooorrrrrr, this is fucked, that’s fucked everything if fucked and nobody is paying any attention. Just because it’s beautiful doesn’t mean it isn’t fucked, we’re all fucked.
