There is a web of life that connects all-that-is, living and dead, past, present, future. There is no way to disconnect from it. At the same time not all of the connections are wholesome or positive, yet we have no choice but to connect with them as well.

I was passing ideas back and forth the other day with Kerfe and made a connection between the micro-filaments of fungi that live underground and intertwine with the roots of the tree that enable trees to communicate with each other and how our minds store memories through the neural networks.

I see where things shift and morph through time. For example when a drought comes, the tree is informed and shifts its energy to functions that can keep it alive in a drought. A human memory example would be how certain traumatic memories get barricaded off and can only be…

Can I be the one
To match all of your desires

सांसों में ज़लज़ला क्यों है।४।

रोज़ आती है रात मगर
नींद नहीं आती अमित
ऐसा यह सिलसिला क्यों है ।५।
