EARTH
As we enter the Great Pause, here is a cast from last December wherein we reach into the depths and gonads of Earth/earth and its uncanny relationship to what’s “Ur,” including — among our personal earthly musings — Louis Untermeyer’s “Caliban in the Coal-Mines,” the nature of the Golem, Earthworks, Earthships, the Gaia Hypothesis, Essentialism, Chiffon margarine, THE WHOLE EARTH CATALOG, The Penguins’ “Earth Angel,” Walt Whitman’s “Urge, Urge, always the procreative urge!” (misquoted), the Laudato Si encyclical by Pope Francis on ecological consciousness, Pete Seeger and the Clearwater, Robin Hood, “The Mountains—grow unnoticed—” (757) by Emily Dickinson, moss and the moon. This session is dedicated to Baba Ram Dass - the American spiritual teacher, psychologist, and author of the ovarian BE HERE NOW - who had died the week of its making.
