An Ode To Imagination

It may be that beavers and every creature has its own imagination, and that human' imagination is quite advanced. I think colonization is conditioning and enculturation of everything about us including imagination, and it's a kind of cultivation that is very limiting and controlling of imagination. Over the past approx 10 years I became very aware that the world is full of intelligent others. I believe that intelligence/consciousness/spirit is omnipresent, and expresses as all that is including every bird, stone, snake, and person, each expression having its own intelligence and consciousness, each in its own way and to its own extent. I think what helps me develop an embodied awareness of others as alive and intelligent is looking, listening, being open, letting go of at least a little of colonization. I believe the walls, the water, meadows, etc are expressions of awareness and intelligence -- it's we who don't see it and thus are so abusive.

Mahalo nui loa- There is never a day when I do not consider the messages I receive from rock ancestors, trees, and water. They have a much broader and intelligent perspective.
