I think I have an updated version somewhere but I've misplaced it for now.

Watching the surface of a quiet, still pool of water, in the mountains of Lao, A pondskater, dancing around on the pool; a fish mouth gasps up at it, now. Caught it, or not —I cannot tell— but the process creates a sound! I’m so close: sound and light appear synchronised and the ripple on the water spreads out.

Hypothetically, it comes in imaginal sums rendered through my perceptual filters: "Should there only be water and air, then wind ought'a be created by fish-ripple forces!" A relation exists between sound and the fish: Air & Water moved by the same "plop". Each ripple's unique from up on its first peak to the end of its very last drop. Compressed to a plane, interpolation's impossible to find the initial event. The sheer complexity of information necessary shows the amount of variation potential; And to find the true origin of All, with precision cannot be understood scientifical.

[Science seeks by dividing and trying to find in the particle, proof that it's spherical. Pi π times diameter is the circle's perimeter: a value certainly irrational. Can't be defined, we can't comprehend it, but it's there when you look at it Whole.]

Of All, we are part: there is no separation, every movement is causing displacement. As we move faster, more turbulence created; the greater the swell of the Ocean. It can happen to trees, animals and the bees, and manifest in your emotion. When creating a space, it always must be filled, great change causing great motion. Examples: combustion; traffic; eruption; confusion, extraction, explosion.

At the crux—and the edge— the goal is the same: "By all means Balance shall be found." All actions have their equal & opposite bass-ic law eternally resound! Forces of Nature we perceive as violent are actually systemic; reflexive. Consider a lifeform, before you now: treat them as less than angelic. Their physical form reacts to invasion, immuno; hormonal; electric.

Perceive separation, personification, treat Lady Gaia the best. Your Mother, & Earth, both Goddess forces, from antics ours need to have rest. Imagine some butterflies creating a hurricane, moving wings in a unified sweep. How are your frequencies?, with what do you resonate? See, the ripples surrounding your feet!
