Some speak of the web of life, others of networks. Those are essentially two dimensional, missing taste, touch, smell, sound, and dynamics. Systems is another metaphor, which does account for dynamics. What brings all our senses and more of the whole of life into play is conversation. Smell, taste, hear, the cacophony of a crowd anticipating. Or you and your love.

The world is in conversation. So? What is the role of humans? Some conversation is unconscious, like the wind with the trees. Some human conversation is like this as well—hear persons mindlessly repeating aphorisms they heard 60 years ago. Some is conscious, and most semi-conscious. Some is I-thou. We can choose in the event. We can choose to lift the whole of life’s conversation.

The world is stranger than we know. We may not be material entities; time, space, and things may not exist as we think of them.

:- Doug.

Conversations are the great and small flows of life, sometimes the flood of eons, sometimes mere eddies appearing for the briefest nows. Always are they non material realities, barely are we conscious of their flow around our physical lives. The large or the small: who can tell which has the profoundest effect?
