"A tulip for instance offers a way of standing in the world."
Thursday Dan Barney came and taught our class. He read to us out of several books that he is currently learning from. I loved that. So many of the books were so thought provoking. Each line almost seemed to be like a proverb. I drew out some of the lines I liked best in my sketch book, so I could go back and back and ponder them.
"The most discrete domains house infinite variation."
"All is becoming."
"A thing is a pedagogy. Does a thing ever teach you?"
I loved the last line. the ida that all things created and still can have a role in teaching us something if we are willing to listen observe and ask. Like what does a door teach you? or a candle? or a tree?
"We need the saguaro cactus to teach us how to grow boldly in the sun."
I love that thought too. Mainly because I love the saguaro. I've spent a lot of time around them. They are such a comforting plant in my opinion.
"When you look at your food- when you really look at it- the cosmos is in your porridge." -thought clark goldsberry shared from buddhist teachings.
"Theory has split the world in two halves-theory and nature."
