Animals do
What they do
With intention
Sometimes pelicans in formation zip along near the water surface and sometimes they fly much higher.
“As one comes to better understand animals in their natural habitats, it may become apparent that everything they do has a purpose.” – Bob Thomas
Non printed circuit board
Components accessible
Protected wiring
Certain environmental conditions cause accelerated aging. Periodic rehabilitation maintenance is required.
“The ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of human nature to human needs.” – Nikola Tesla
Widely scattered
Storm coverage
Affect area
Slowly moving off-shore and over open ocean, rain rains.
“Rain I don’t mind, shine the weather’s fine. I can show you that when it starts to rain, everything is the same, when the rain comes down.” – John Lennon
Multiplicities spreading
Subjectification proceeding
Reterritorialization
Incongruous beach detritus questions the relationship of natural habitat and manufactured artifact. Each encounter provides information about the cultural time in play.
“We think in terms of languages and images which we did not invent, but which were given to us by our society.” – Alan Watts
Inquiry into causes
Adapting questioning
Physical discourses
A hike through wetland habitats, surrounded by a hardwood forest interspersed with pines, adds experiential material for a probing consciousness. Awareness is locally implemented.
“Aristotle did not, however, presuppose that the first causes in question had to be something higher than the causes he had already discovered in the order of nature or of human experience.” – Oliva Blanchette
Storm clouds
Skillful pilots
Ride the waves
Spreading from the east, the northern horizon darkens as the wind picks up. The atmosphere fills with energy and anticipation.
“There are some things you can only learn in a storm.” – Joel Osteen
Aesthetic response
Necessary interaction
Positive significance
Intuition, coupled with a cursory visual survey of existence in general and earth ecology in particular, suggests that better awareness integration yields more substantial aesthetic progress.
“The reasonable man adapts himself to the world: the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.” – George Bernard Shaw
Wild mystery
Vastly universal
Heart of sea
Walking the ruggedly idyllic juncture where the land meets the sea, everyday is uniquely presented. The coastline produces distinctive appearances with varying resistance to energy discharge.
“The Ocean has its silent caves, Deep, quiet, and alone; Though there be fury on the waves, Beneath them there is none.” – Nathaniel Hawthorne
Natural forces
Wind influence
Manipulating matter
Trying to coax nature into behaving in ways that strain the limits imposed by environmental physics inadvertently creates aesthetic opportunity.
“Everything in our world is connected by the delicate strands of the web of life, which is balanced between forces of destruction and the magic forces of creation.” – Magi Lune
At the edge
Sound side
Tree perimeter
A large expanse of open water starts to appear through the tall trees.
“And into the forest I go to lose my mind and find my soul.” – John Muir
