Questions

• What is the nature of life?
• What is the language of nature?

Unifying Concepts

• NaturaLanguage -- flexible; literal (science) and poetic (art)

(Some notes on my reading of The Web of Life by Fritjof Capra, with consideration given to the meaning of the [ecological, holistic] concepts to my [integrative] idea called CircaTree)

[ENTITY] Antoine Lavoisier ("the father of modern chemistry"), finally showed respiration as a special oxidation process, chemical.

- Biology (GND)

-- Form is maintained while there is a continual flux of matter.

I feel as if I need to transcribe every moment of my life.  I need to capture every quote, save every scene.

What am I afraid of forgetting?

The feeling! 

Studying chiron...  I see why I am so interested in chiropractic.  Why I have developed a strong relationship with my chiropractor.

Reading about the comet in Astrologik, I come across notes on coincidence; synchronicity; magic[; skill?]--being at the right place at the right time, on purpose!  "what we call magic is actually technology we don't yet understand or comprehend." (science-fiction author unknown)

The subversive force of Chiron with the style of Taurus in the midheaven influences me to manipulate my own body, alter my mindstate.  I think I know what I am doing.  I learn about my body by adjusting myself, healing myself, and sometimes in mistake, hurting myself.  But I'm always learning.

Subversive, punk-ass chiron!

A tall black man approached me in a professional panic.

He wore all black, his t-shirt sported a red Sprint logo.

He appeared to be carrying on a phone conversation as he told me he was doctor so-and-so who needed help getting into his locked car.

He spouted so many details.  Said he'd leave his ring, watch, etc. to borrow $20 to pay his locksmith.

I should have looked in his eyes and remained calm.  I should have held him to his collateral before handing him two 10's.

"What's your name?", he asked before walking away.  Not before a quick homie-hug, the hustler said "I'll take care of you, Steve." before he took off through the parking lot.
