Film Fossils

Sweat rocks
Jewelry beads
Open curios

Here are things tendered that you didn’t know you needed, but might not be able to obtain elsewhere. Odd businesses emerge in tourist venues, largely defined in terms of capitalist modes of production and consumption.

“This civilization is the impact of the world’s consumption behavior.” – Toba Beta

Gray Day Rumination

Rhythmic texture
Movement contrast
Weather prevails

The clouds hover low, gliding deeper into the mountains.

“Like a splendid mosaic of myriad colors, she in all her hues of sensitivity would paint her feelings in your mind’s gray skies.” – Avijeet Das

Flying Flock

Group formation
Wind resistance
Flight maneuvers

Crossing over the valley, there is no designated team commander; rather, the birds take turns leading. Every bird is accounted for, making intricate in-formation aerial dances possible. The classic V-formation augments intercommunication and coordination within the flock, affording improved orientation and efficiency.

“Once a decision is made by one bird, it diffuses through the flock like gas.” – Rachel Nuwer

Time to Order

Serious decisions
Part of the flow
Social consumption

Specific assemblage happenings mark the progression of experience. Perhaps the appearance of time flowing, and its resulting phenomenological manifestation, only arise as a secondary effect of deeper quantum functions. On the other hand, time may be the singular essential dimension of existence.

“There has never been a single point in your entire life in which the past has been anything other than memories experienced in the present.” – Bernardo Kastrup

Hoarfrost

Ice crystal deposit
Direct condensation
Water vapor to ice

Areas of active hydrothermal steam venting provide a continuous source of airborne water vapor that effects all nearby objects. Conditional assessments of such hydrothermal events are especially accessible in the winter.

“What good is the warmth of summer, without the cold of winter to give it sweetness.” – John Steinbeck

Night Landing

Glide path
Dimension dynamics
Round out

Accomplished through peripheral vision as much as direct vision, visual cues emanate from the external environment. Always cogitating on existence, clear skies and slight winds facilitate a calm touchdown.

“Sensitivity isn’t being wimpy. It’s about being so painfully aware that a flea landing on a dog is like a sonic boom. I enjoy a lot of mystery.” – Jeff Buckley

Trout Fishing In America

Abstract anecdote
Reappearing character
Point of contact

A brief encounter completely off the wall, and yet firmly attached as a fixture of continuity. The distinguishing condition of being involves sameness in all that constitutes the objective reality of an organic thing.

“I’m in a constant process of thinking about things.” – Richard Brautigan

All the Young Dudes

Identity reservation
Fashionable manner
Sartorial splendor

The dude is far out man! For those seeking a more rustic experience in the untamed west, here is a cheap accommodation alternative one block north of the Yellowstone National Park west entrance, catering to urbanites unaccustomed to the frontier and all other primitive settings.

“The Dude abides. I don’t know about you, but I take comfort in that, knowin’ he’s out there. The Dude. Takin’ ‘er easy for all us sinners.” – The Stranger
