A path I take in learning to pay attention to messages from
Gaia, is by way of developing my poetic consciousness.
Slowly, I am learning to listen (passively, through meditative
silence and actively through consensual absorbtion in whatever
place I am in).
Earth sensitive poetry attempts to capture
messages from receptive states with words. I think it's the
nature of human languages (some more than others) to escape the
present moment and act as container for ideas which are
compact data constructs used as building blocks for even
more complex and constricted arrangements of information.
Still, I feel that minimal words can be used as
one medium along with other static images like feeling symbols,
and pictures and especially, the development and
redevelopment of more moving communal forms of thought\
feeling\spirit sharing, such as trance, dream sharing,
group arts and whatever else arises in the big problem
solving adventures of the coming decades for consciously
interacting with all who exist on this planet.
A problem which has come up for me, is that in translating
images and sound movement from one state of consciousness to
another, the problem of change of state amnesia occurs and so
some of my poetry, which I call "First Vibrational" poetry
loses some of its energy and meaning between states. Maybe
that happens with all writing.
But I'm particularly aware
that unless my vital energy state when I read a F.V piece
matches the energetic intensity I carried in my body while
recording it, that much is lost. I especially like live
poetry for that reason. But I have to be in an unusually
safe environment to express spontaneously with others since
I'm a shy woman.
This is a place to explore BioSpirit interface, with
in-body poets responsive to the moods and conditions of our
planet through deep ecological verse, whole, reverberating,
shadowy, bright, green, decaying and alive.
