Conduzir apressadamente para o trabalho , numa sexta, a ouvir Bohemian Rhapsody dos Queen é extremamente perigoso. Descobri isso hoje. Alias! devia ser considerado um desporto radical.

The other day I was looking at a field, the low light of the setting sun falling on the tall dry grass which waving in the wind made the field look almost golden. I stood there on the edge of the field just looking at this beautifull sight and started to feel love but not that love that you feel when you loook at some thing which is beautifull but inanimate....

You see I started to imagine that the field I was in was just the surface of some creature, some being that I was standing on, as if standing on a giant elephant but that we cannot see is an elephant. But instead of thinking Elephant I thought creature or animal or being. Maybe...
what if that is exactly what we are on a macro organism if you like. The earth IS afterall something that moves constantly, so many elements within around and through the earth move and change, as if it was breathing and had blood running through it. My daughter said the other day in her infinate innocent wisdom of a child "water is the earth´s blood and the rocks are the bones".

We are all made of the earth it is not sepperate from us what we eat and drink and breath all comes from the earth and when our body dies it returns to the earth, so we are not sepperate but part of the world and at the same time we are part of everthing else. Just part of one big macro organism. So maybe and quite possibly the earth , or this wolrd we are on and part is actually conscious as well and exists on another level, another plane. I freak out a bit when I think of other planets and other constellations. But briefly the other day I did think about this questiuon, the question of life. Scientists have not found life on other planets. My first thought is that we have life on this planet because maybe it is alive, not just an agromeration of inanimate matters but actually alive. But then I thought "what is life? what is the classification of life?"

Other planets also move and have movement in them and on them and around them.

Then in the end I had a sad thought: That we are like parasites on this creature, actually we are a cancer. We are the microorganisms that have become selfish and started growing incontrolably and unstopably. We are always expanding, always modifying our host and always destroying just like a cancer.

I looked at the field and loved it through my gaze I admired and loved it as if I was looking at a beautifull kitten or puppy or my daughter, why not ? the world is beautifull in our mind. I gave it love just so it would know that it was still worth it.....

Earth is slightly redductionist but sounds nice.
