Earth Heat

Interior conduction
Radiating center
Power flow

Unusual encounters reorient understanding of “things that appear.” A remarkable example of natural phenomena can simulate an analysis of ideas and a subsequent reduction of all convictions and concepts to their origins in experience.

“Connection between life and radioactive nuclei is straightforward. No life without tectonic activity, without volcanic activity. And we know very well that geothermal energy is mostly produced by decay of uranium, thorium, and potassium.” – Garik Israelian

Driving Force

Shifting tension
Precipitate nature
Regression progress

Experience and reflection gradually render dogmas suspicious. New doubts make for more available paths forward.

“Never get mired in the past and always accept new things whatever age you are.” – Debbie Harry

Iconic Landform

Well-established
Widely celebrated
Physical elements

Landscapes embody a living synthesis, displaying a comprehensive vital force enveloping existence as a spontaneous morphogenesis of things in an increasingly complex configuration.

“In the continuum of landscape, mountains are discontinuity — culminating in high points, natural barriers, unearthly earth.” – Rebecca Solnit

Shifting Stabilization

External constructs
Idealization equilibrium
Condition of tension

Out and about in a tiny Montana mountain town on a cold clear winter night, bright decorative lights embellish adventure. Apparent manifestations inform states of consciousness, as each individual creates a world of visceral fortune approaching certainty.

“They howl at the moon, shoot out the light; It’s a small town Saturday night.” – Pat Alger

Artist Paint Pots

Aqua constrained
Acidic thermal
Viscous slurry

A variegated mud geothermal feature, nourished by hot-springs, remains active during the winter season. Effervescing under a blanket of snow, at various junctures the ground heat overwhelms the freezing cold.

“Along this section of the path, you’ll notice that the Artists’ Paintpots feature a collection of pastel colors. This is because iron oxide stains their whitish/gray mud.” – Courtney Holden

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
