Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hi John - Your version is better. Thank you. peace and love, joyce PS - Have you ever watched a narcissus over the course of a winter's day, how it moves to seek the sun? The ones in my window are as a metronome, swaying almost imperceptibly along an axis from West to East and back, following the puddles of sun as it moves across the pane of glass. They trace an arc fully 3 feet across over the course of a day, a lovely, subtle flowery dance to watch unfolding. Just who was it who said that plants are not sentient? , "John Logan <johnrloganis>" <johnrloganis> wrote: > > > winter facing north > the narcissus wants the sun. > only desire tells when > > > > > > , Know Mystery > <know_mystery> wrote: > > winter facing North, the narcissus wants the sun. a metronome > ticks.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hi Joyce, No, not better, just different. And you are writing to someone who spends a lot of time watching the grass grow and dance with the wind. Anyone who doesn't know that all life, plants, animals, insects, reptiles, birds, and even humans (sometimes) is sentient and intelligent is just ignorant and limited. I pray for them. Have you read the book by J. Allen Boone, KINSHIP WITH ALL LIFE? After reading the book twice I was communicating with animals and plants, and discovered the secret of communicating with cats which he couldn't do. I don't think of "pets" as possessions but as "companions" and they respond to that with wonderful love and intelligence. The plants and animls love to show off their talents. I have watched flies do what I call the "square dance"; they can fly at high speed in a square pattern with sharp right angled turns; if a car did that they would roll over and crash. They are also amazing acrobats, doing all kinds of tricks and only need a little appreciation to respond with a "show". I have admired narcissis and am aware of their dance, but not to the extent you described it. I will be more observant in the future. Bushes do a similar thing; all the leaves will rotate with the sun in chorus. Isn't life wonderful when we are aware and can enjoy it? Thank you for sharing your haiku and then your deeper explanation. Nameste, John L. , "know_mystery <know_mystery>" <know_mystery> wrote: > Hi John - > > Your version is better.

Guest guest Posted December 24, 2002 Report Share Posted December 24, 2002 Hello John - Thank you for this. No, I haven't read that book, but it sounds interesting. Communicating with cats? Oh that is such fun. You mentioned the leaves of bushes moving to face the sun. Have you ever watched the leaves of young tomatoes? The move up and down, collapsing at night time and during the day spreading their leave as far out as possible. It really does look like they are dancing. peace, joyce , "John Logan <johnrloganis>" <johnrloganis> wrote: > Hi Joyce, > > No, not better, just different. > > And you are writing to someone who spends a lot of time watching the > grass grow and dance with the wind. > > Anyone who doesn't know that all life, plants, animals, insects, > reptiles, birds, and even humans (sometimes) is sentient and > intelligent is just ignorant and limited.
