This one is going to be difficult as I attempt to dissolve bone into electricity.
I think too much about being a giant from right here to the tips of my toes, a fragile mix up of bones with an everlasting mix of filtering organs all wrapped up in regenerating cells.
A bonafide meat vessel but with fragile bones that reminds me of my insignificance on this planet. A planet that we would never have seen like this if it was not for the neurons connecting us to the energy of the universe and to every other human being, animal, and plant.
Our bones are more stationary to earth than our neurons. Skeletons belong to the earth like cars and buildings, shells left of what has been pulled from the ground and shaped into the body in which it stands. Neurons fire from our brain, into the ground, trees, and stars from wherever we stand.
The connection of moving blood and impulses of neurons through our bodies reaching our brains has us looking beyond our bones. Our neurons spread out through structures and organisms sharing knowledge of the movement of bones put here by us in the form of everything solid like bone or edible like flesh or living things that were here before us and living among us now, some bigger, some small, not all made of flesh and bone.
We watch the patterns, behavior, and movement of skeletons and exoskeletons that we copy to improve upon our own shape and where we may stand and in which makeshift bones we will be invited to learn, which ones we will own, which ones we will build, and which ones will be destroyed by hand.
Our neuron electricity takes this knowledge of the movement of bones to create more bones and learn more about the motion of the blood flow to our flesh to make living more bearable by asking questions. How does the blood pump, how does it flow, how do our bones continue to grow?
There was a leap from the flesh and bone to energy that is in us to energy that is around us. The leap has shown us there is more fragility to bone and so there is less fragility in the network of electricity that has us connected to everything outside of our own vessel, outside of our world. So much have we grown that we now have images of this electricity whether it is of our bones or how the earth looks from space, we alone.
The earth is more fragile than space. We are more fragile than the earth.
We have grown fragile into what we can’t see ourselves. How fragile is invisibility to electricity? Bones can’t be crushed if they can’t be seen. The smaller the bone the more fragile it is, the less there is to lose. The more electricity we combine as seen from space the more bone to lose at any rate.
The significance of our bones as it relates to our relationship with the planet exceeds the insignificance of electrical impulses as it relates to the universe.
It’s always a bone that stays with the planet.
The smallest bone in my ear is as critical to me right now as the entire connectivity of the universe that is comprehended somehow.
At this rate there is no distinction between listening to the slow tap of myself on the keyboard a moment ago and receiving light right now from other stars outside our solar system which is just as slow. Both are from the past, absorbed and dissolved into neurons and dispersed back to from where they came with the intensity of the brightest star and the precision of where we are, one and the same.
