Harmonygirl,
Sorry to respond so late, but had lot's to do.
I admire your moment of great empathy with nature. And yes I also have sometimes this notion when zooming in on the rich world of forms and expressions in nature. In my garden lots of plants grow with great abundance, and I very much like to look at them as if it were with a microlens. Because then it is almost as if you enter their world.
In Wageningen, near where I live, there is a universitypark called the Arboretum, with trees from all over the world. They also have some huge borders with rhododendron. In spring turning to summer these plants blossom and then it's like firework. You can see, experience, that there's a party going on, a party in form and colour !
To me these experiences are not anthropomorphic projections, as others would say. It is two forms of nature - we and plants - coming together and sharing an experience.
Who ever invented this world must have joy in form, colour, flowers...
There's also a catch though. I once saw a model of Tyrannosaurus Rex. It gave me the shivers. And I was glad I didn't share the same time and space when this animal reigned it's biotope.
Chazzysaw,
This whole world seems to be one huge complex vibration, construed as variations on themes, stacked upon each other, in layers of increasing complexity. It's like a fuge of Bach, construed on a general theme, with several subthemes, passing by, developing, growing. To me this is big 'link' between music and nature. |
