Your Tree of Life is Taking Shape



Your
Tree of life
Is taking shape
-
Its leaves made of labels
Bearing words that you spake
-
It is best that you think
Of the leaves
You attach
-
Once
Spoken

They
Hang there
-
You can't get them back

Dead Skin

The rock and stone
-
From which our cities are hewn
-
Is but dead skin
-
One must assume

On Earth



You
-
Should
-
Drink the bead
-
Of silver rain
-
That hangs
-
After the spring shower
-
From a blade of grass
-
To understand
-
All
-
You need to know
-
About your life
-
On Earth

Noirmoutier (Or I Like the View)


A sea
Of
Green
-
Reeds
-
In the sun
-
That ripple
-
Where
The wind will run
-
A winding road
-
A distant Mill
-
That shimmers
-
In the heat
-
When still
-
A turbid tide
Across the bar
-
Behind the pines
Where salt pans are
-
There Avocets
Wade
White
-
On
Blue
-
To
Fishing huts
-
Bleached
-
By
The light
-
Illuminated
-
Painted bright
-
The
Coloured
Boats
-
Along
The shore
-
Noirmoutier
-
All this
Is
You
-
And
More

Believing is Seeing

Believing is seeing
Is not what we’re taught
So our lives then remain
Chained to reason
Through thought
If the chain you can break
Light will reign
Not the dark
In a world that is born
Not of mind
But of heart

Finding Out

If
finding out where you are

Is the first step to knowing
Where you are going
-
Finding out who you are
Is the first step to knowing
How you might get there

The Big Bang -v- The Big Doughnut Theory MkIII (Or what happens when a Big Doughnut Spins)



To be read following:

THE BIG DOUGHNUT THEORY MKII
(Or THE LONG SAUSAGE ROLL THEORY)


Now, those Sausage Rolls without their sausage

Their pastry long, and smooth and glossy
Described how there had never (EVER) been
The need for a
-
“BIG BANG”
-
To start this mess that we’re in
(THE UNIVERSE!)

-
In fact I can think of nothing much worse
Than a “BIG BANG” to start off a whole Universe!
-
Therefore, and in keeping with my original theory
(Regarding the general distribution of matter)
Without any need for a

“BIG BANG”
TO
SPLATTER'
-
Our cosmic dust into a great space
(That had waited how long?)
For this event to take place
I return to my doughnut
The original plan
(Remember the type with a hole, and no jam)
But to make it much clearer (ie the system we’re in)
I have added another element;
-
REVOLUTION (or SPIN)
-
For if our doughnut were of
-
“UNIVERSAL”
-
Proportions
In the form of a vacuum with matter within
-
(analogy DOUGH)
-
In view of it’s totally enormous
-
CIRCUMFERENCE
-
It’s speed could then vary
-
(IF IT WERE TO SPIN)

-
For when “Spun” on it’s axis at slow revolutions
It’s centre could seem to be totally still
Whilst an object attached to it’s outer circumference
Much faster than light might travel
-
UNTIL
-
The dough at it’s surface grew darker and darker
(Just like night)

As it's speed prevented the escape of all
-
LIGHT

-
I would then suggest that this may be the answer
For the reason there exists such a mass of
-
“DARK MATTER”
-
Though
It
Does not result from ANY
-
“BIG SPLATTER”
-
But merely because;
-
WHEN A BIG DOUGHNUT SPINS
-
Light cannot escape
-
SO SOME BITS GO DIM !
-
So you see
(Although on the EDGE you will not)
-
POSITION
-
Determines our SPEED in this plot

And as SPEED is as TIME
(Just in case you’d forgot)

The “SPIN” is the reason;

WE ARE

and

NOT NOT!
