Kumtuks Tahlkie: Delayed Discourse on Diplodocine Discontinuation
http://jdorcutt.blogspot.com/2015/03/delayed-discource-on-diplodocine.html
Studying the past and defining the future in the Great Northwest. Delayed Discourse on Diplodocine Discontinuation. The Natural History Museum. It's been another cold, dark winter both literally and, as far as this blog is concerned, figuratively. I've just returned to Iowa following Cornell's Spring Break and as the snow is melting, the flowers are sprouting, and the weather is warming, I thought it was high time to wake the Mammoth Prairie from its hibernation. And architect Alfred Waterhouse. Wide Wor...

Monday, April 13, 2015. Emergence in the Vernal Tides (13 April 2015). 8220;[T]he Earth can be wonderfully thought of as a planet shimmering with awareness. Perhaps there are other planets that so shimmer, or perhaps this is the only one. In any case, awareness is integral to life, and integral as well to our religious lives.” (89). Ursula Goodenough The Sacred Depths of Nature (1998). I've been to the woods twice in the last week and a half, and have experienced the changing of the season in my whole.

Montague Whitsel's Blog: Earthen Meaning (21 March 2016)

Monday, March 21, 2016. Earthen Meaning (21 March 2016). 8220;By pleasure drawn from discovery of new truths, the scientist is part poet, and by pleasure drawn from new ways to express old truth, the poet is part scientist. In this sense science and the creative arts are foundationally the same.” (101). E O Wilson Letters to a Young Scientist. 8220;We are walking archives of ancestral wisdom. Our bodies and minds are live monuments to our forebears’ rare successes. This Darwin has taught us. It reminds m...

http://montaguewhitsel.blogspot.com/2014_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 31, 2014. Re-Treading the Lonesome Way (31 October 2014). Wandering the Lonesome Way. With trees, birds and Goddess. I find the paths within that stir. My heathen fur, and break stress. Down the back opening into Fay. The Mind that lists and will sway. At Her revelations I halt! Standing in open wood stations. Near the Cromlech of the Self. Imbibing revelations as I play. In the sandbox of Becoming. There on the lonesome track,. Like an Elf in the quay, where. She-Who-Is strides on ahead,.

Tuesday, December 29, 2015. The Winter Nemeton (29 December 2015). 8220;Solitude is the luminous silent space of freedom, of self and nature, of inflection and creative power.” (299). Solitude: A Philosophical Encounter. The Thirteen Days are past and I have passed beyond the fulcrum point of Winter’s Solstice. More and more as I live and dwell in the world, I find the December ‘Holidays’ less and less attractive as touchstones of a spiritual pathing of wholeness and self-transfiguration. Not as poetic a...

Sunday, September 13, 2015. Nature, Music and Transcendence (12 September 2015). 8220;The feeling of awed wonder that science can give us is one of the highest experiences of which the human psyche is capable. It is a deep aesthetic passion to rank with the finest that music and poetry can deliver. It is truly one of the things that makes life worth living and it does so, if anything, more effectively if it convinces us that the time we have for living it is finite.” (x). Abandoned my spiritual quest in ...

Sunday, October 4, 2015. Musing Art, Music and Mysticism (4 October 2015). I’ve been to the woods this afternoon, and it was beautiful, cool and refreshing. As I walked and left the stress of the day behind, I kept coming round to thoughts of music, art and naturalistic mysticism. My imagination was drawn to something Simon Russell Beale said in the BBC program on Tomas L ui. S de Victoria [i]. About the composer being sent to Rome by Teresa of Avila. Perhaps I am exaggerating the impli ed. What would so...

Kumtuks Tahlkie: How to Make a Good Nature Documentary
http://jdorcutt.blogspot.com/2007/05/how-to-make-good-nature-documentary.html
Studying the past and defining the future in the Great Northwest. How to Make a Good Nature Documentary. Today, the Discovery Channel has been airing the BBC series. I had heard about the series before, but I'd been skeptical: it couldn't really be as good as everyone claimed it was, could it? Turns out that yes, it is. Here's why:. On the other hand, doesn't skimp on the carnage, whether it's a chimp cannibalizing an infant from another troop or a parasitic fungus erupting out of the head of an ant (in ...
