dream. It replaces dreams, actually. The way feeds seems to happen to us—unfolding in our presence (and they do the opposite of “feed” us). Like a stream, cold water magnifying stone, but one that’s too full of meaning. Like a cancer. It’s possible for things to mean too much, actually. Or rather, they “mean” things to us for no good reason. Or the meaning they deliver is out of synch with the cycles of our emotional bodies. The way other people’s (or the more ideal—corporations) images come in like thoughts. Like how our own thoughts used to. Or the presence of a cloud, a river, flickering flame. That’s why we don’t dream much when we rack up the screen time. Do you know what I mean? Remember how we stopped remembering our dreams, but we thought that was just a part of growing up? When we look at the land all day and smell woodsmoke, then we remember our dreams at night. . It’s not just the oceans that are polluted. It is our semiotic and psychic space, too. . Ancient mystics and current village elders that “we” make a habit of ignoring warned about this, about the colonizing of the mind with images. . Images used to be gods. At the very least they transmitted the presence of the divine. . Now they still are our gods, perhaps now our demons, though we’re in a bit of denial about these facts. . We’re goddamn animists. Of course a glowing screen looks like magic. We crave relation with Others, but the torrents of micro-contacts that come through the screen are not quite Other enough. Not...quite... . And maybe there is magic there. Of course there is. Screens saved our sanity as young cyberpunks coming of age alongside the internet. But it’s not where magic comes from. . There’s domesticated magic and there’s wild magic. I think we would all choose the latter if we had the opportunity to. Ironically, though, that’s the one choice that capitalism leaves off the shelf.... . This isn’t simply critique. We ARE the cyborg kids that Haraway dreamed of. And now we’re trying to grow up. https://www.apocalypticecology.com/poetry/project-six-3l3pp monthly 0.5 2020-08-06 https://www.apocalypticecology.com/poetry/project-three-ye4n2 monthly 0.5 2020-08-06 https://www.apocalypticecology.com/poetry/project-one-7lxk8 monthly 0.5 2020-08-06 https://www.apocalypticecology.com/poetry/project-two-j4nn9 monthly 0.5 2020-08-06 https://www.apocalypticecology.com/poetry/project-four-rfe2e monthly 0.5 2020-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f03dbd8c3e5596bd74576b1/1596748585633-3ISF2ICIXQ9008AZWGS7/LRG_DSC07860.JPG Poetry - Empathy as Resistance - Empathy as Resistance If you want to learn how to belong on /this/ land watch the creatures who live here for whom nature is not just a backdrop for a spiritual experience. See how the bobcat and lion walk along the edges of things even at night they walk in moonshadow! See how the birds warn the whole forest of danger and claim their territory with a song. Watch them if you can because here’s the irony: When beings become expert at belonging They can appear invisible to us. When beings become expert at belonging They can appear invisible to us. This includes human beings. There are good reasons for stealth for example, Survival. But do me a favor & don’t simply add this to your list of naturalist facts. It is easy to watch a documentary where the narrator informs you of scientific reasons for things. What is hard is learning the psycho-spiritual reasons for stealth and silence. When we learn that we are finally able to sit with our relatives And Listen. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847904480-AXE2TZ6WH1YWOYJELYQQ/image-asset.jpeg Poetry - Empathy as Resistance - Make it stand out.
