We ARE what we eat.
And we eat A LOT.
Not just what we ingest deliberately for sustenance. Our bodies, our minds and our souls
act like bottomless sponges. Forever absorbing. Forever being struck, penetrated and then
assimilating. Air enters through our lungs, pores, even hair. Light waves crash into our
skin. Radio waves cascade through our bones and rattle our dental fillings. Televisions
and computer screens scald our retina while voices and music shake our ear drums.
Whether awake or asleep we are always EATING. Sights, sounds, cajoling, confronting.
Discussions, arguments, reprimands and romancing. The tender shuffle of a locustfs hind
legs and the calamitous crack of a thunder cloud.
It all goes IN.
And...plenty comes OUT too.
Our bodies excrete waste products.
And the sum of our inputs, outputs in all sorts of other ways - our actions, deeds, personalities
and legacies. Out chit-chat, our howls to the heavens and the monuments we build
to our mediocrity and our profundity. Our songs, our poems, our music.
Herefs some we found scattered amongst the debris of the early 21st century.
Take it.
CONSUME.
And then moment by moment, breath by breath it will slowly evacuate you to rejoin the
wellspring...
Ainft the universe a grand thing?
