We need purity in
this age…. Pure goodness, pure badness,
pure light, pure dark….. Pure hot, pure
cold. But most things are a mix….
It depends on the
resolution with which you look at things.
At the micro-resolution, everything is separate – an atom with it’s
protons and it’s electrons, and now we find there are photons too…..
There are cells in
plants that look so perfect at a microscopic level, but zoom out to the plant,
and it might not look so perfect, because the sun might alight on one side of
the plant, or on another, and so that grows better….
But rest assured
that the plant is responding perfectly to the solar stimuli and other factors
around it.
Then zoom out a
little more and the plants become a garden.
Theoretically, all the plants of a certain species should be together,
so that when the bees arrive to feed on the flowers and get dusted with pollen
in turn, the next flower they visit to feed on should be of the same species,
otherwise the pollen might fall on an incompatible flower, and that is a waste
of pollen. Might as well optimize the
work of the bees. They’re anyway
carrying all that pollen on their backs.
The least we could do is to keep the same-species plants together so
that there is a fruit of their labour…..
Of course, the bees don’t think of it as labour. As far as they are concerned, they’re having
a good time drinking nectar…. They don’t
even notice the pollen dust that falls on their back. And when they go to slake their thirst at the
next flower, the pollen dust falls off, without them knowing why or how…. As far as they’re concerned, they’re just
having a ball……
Then zoom out some
more and the forest becomes patches of green amidst patches of blue or green
sea…..
Zoom out some more
and the whole thing becomes a globe…..
Hello world!
