Growth

So much in nature resembles or describes itself at different scales, from different angles. What have you noticed that is self-similar or symmetrical in that way?

Transcriptorial: It is not the mere fact / these weeds breach the asphalt, but how: / splits and curves / reaching out like repair tar.

I follow the repair tar, black against thegrey, and it never leads me anywhere. One day I will abandon the line that would have; then I will be an adult.

That which one might see as growth might actually be a decline.

The splits might have just let one see what’s REALLY inside but would one have any idea if what used to be there was gold and now it’s only repair tar?

Are the curves designed by nature to be there or are they there because of the vantage point with which we’re looking?

Would the splits and the curves be there with or without the weeds?

One’s vantage point doesn’t define the real essence of what it sees.

So much in nature might have been better before we first came to see it. So much in nature might have actually changed because we came to see it.

You see, even if we do not know it, nature always notices every teeny-weeny imbalance in its nature (punny…. not!).

It’s just that some of us do not know how to respect the natural law of just letting the natural order of things go. (redundancy required :)).
