After-Orts 104

...if a flower had a God it would not be a transcendental flower but a field--moreover a field as discussed in physics, an integrated pattern of energy, a field which would not only be flowering, but also earthing, raining, shining, birding, worming, and beeing. A sensitive flower would, through its roots and membranes, feel out into this entire pattern and so discover itself as a particular exultation of the whole field.
     -- Alan Watts, In My Own Way, chapter 7


I am okay with sitting through long things I don’t comprehend. I majored in English and often wasn’t sure if we were talking about Dickens or Moby-Dick or Emily Dickinson, and so it’s no problem to sit through an opera. At least there’s music and scenery and costumes, which we didn’t have in the classroom.
