“Nature is not a puzzle waiting to be put together, or a codex waiting to be deciphered. Nature is chaos in motion. Biological life is a spiraling diffusion of possibilities, fractal in its profusion. Every organism, and certainly every plant, has ricocheted out of another fragment of the evolutionary web of green leafy things to variate further.” Pg 21 Hardcover
Life is complex, and it does not help that we are born into this world right into a world that is not organic to us as individuals, one that is created by those before us. Parents, society, community, and religion.
The world is presented to us as a puzzle that needs to be put together in a predefined manner, but the reality is that the world is a natural product and is a chaos in motion that each needs to discover and live.
Life for us humans, too, is a spiraling diffusion of possibilities. The more I read about other sentient forms, especially plants, the more my perspective of life evolves. Why plant or tree? It is because they are rooted in stillness and yet cultivate endless possibilities.
Please consider joining the 6D book club of The Light Eaters this November to share your perspectives and outlook. Fall & Winter make a cozy and cuddly time to read and share with our community from the comfort of one's home.
"Zoë Schlanger delivers a groundbreaking work of popular science that probes the hidden world of the plant kingdom, destabilizing not just how we see the green things of the world but also our place in the hierarchy of beings, and maybe the notion of that hierarchy itself."
