Footprints in the Windsm # 1903–If any effect

Footprints in the Windsm # 1903

No, we don’t know whether we will have any effect. No, we don’t know what to do, what stories to tell, what messages to send. But we do have a power. Our power is try. Our power is far-sight. Our power is caring. Both directions.

Mistaking mind

Some scientists take the brain for the mind. Others say this is mistaken: there is a body-mind. Others see mind even larger, in the conversations among people. Yet life may be fooling us all, seeking to make the cosmos into mind, all conscious.

Also look vertically

Take the acorn seed and place it into the ground: it sprouts brain cells as roots and energy gathering cells as leaves: down and up. We look back and forward for our growth: our inspiration. Let us also look vertically: 360o all around. Then each of those in 360 powers: 360360. Then these to the power of imagination. (360360)i. Now we start.
