I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how everything is connected. Amy wrote a post about the relationship between Deleuze and Guatarri’s rhizomatics and social networking today (we’re often in tune that way!) I’m also reading Michael Frayn’s “The Human Touch” which wonderfully explores our embedded, connected existence, the centrality of our subjective perspective, and our active participation in the creation of the world we experience. The chapter I just read was entitled “Why the marmalade?”, a crystal clear examination of how we attempt to explain events (all explanations are partial, developing, multiple). This is the same ground of thought I’m also reading in an ancient two volume set of Alexander’s “Space, Time and Deity” which I just got through abebooks, having read about his work in Michael Ward’s “Planet Narnia” where he described how C S Lewis took on board Alexander’s idea about two kinds of experience – enjoyed and contemplated.
Well, I could go on….see how once you start to a pull at a thread you find it’s connected to everything else?
Here are some bridges and paths which caught my eye recently……
Heroes Not Zombies 
Love the way you’ve fitted the words to the truly incredibly beautiful photos! Isn’t it funny how our thoughts so often run parallel to each other?

A dear blogger friend just mailed me Speaking the Lost Language of God. I’ve begun listening to it, though I’ve not gotten very far yet. I understand, from the little I’ve heard, that it’s about this very thing – the energy that surrounds us all and allows for this kind of interconnectedness and communication. I’ll be interested to see how it plays out.
The photos, as always, are breathtaking. I MUST get to Japan someday.
