Poetry – Reasons

Reasons

It the face of eternity

It is only human to seek reasons.

When there are none to be found

We can always invent them.

Our brain has evolved

To interpret patterns,

Find answers,

Seek solutions.

When faced with infinity

We are unable to see it

As anything other

Than finity.

We invent beginnings

Ends and continuations

Where none

Exist.

Our limitations

Dictate our dogma

And create a range

Of irrational beliefs.

Opher – 14.10.2019

It seems to me that we are entering a new age of irrationality. Superstition and irrational thought is on the rise hand in hand with extremism, isolation and retraction.

Instead of reaching out confidently to investigate the unknown we are retracting back into ourselves and looking to unsubstantiated beliefs to give us solace.

The Dark Ages are descending.

Inside the Geodesic! The Eden Project.

I am always fascinated by the patterns of plants, of leaves, their colours and shapes. Beauty. Wonderful.

Photography – Plants, shapes, Orchids and patterns

The orchids are great but I particularly like the patterns.DSC_0568 DSC_0569 DSC_0571 DSC_0573 DSC_0577 DSC_0578 DSC_0579 DSC_0584 DSC_0585 DSC_0586 DSC_0602 DSC_0599

Photography – The Eden Project in Cornwall – patterns of leaves.

What a fabulous place! All those futuristic geodesic domes in a valley. All those incredible tropical plants in those domes.

Here’s a few photos I took – I tried to capture the patterns of the leaves.
