Be Still

Evolution made things stand still.

When the first life forms appeared in the primordial soup, or wherever, all landscapes were in flux. There were few landmarks and pathways to follow – perhaps only the qualia of heat, light, vibration, and maybe some chemical acids and bases.

However, qualiadelic relationships, over time, clarified and separated landmarks and pathways out from the undifferentiated landscape. As the senses became keener, so the the world became knowable. Reality in motion began to slow down and become predictable.

Human thought, as we idealize it, makes the world motionless to understand it, to name and classify all the things in it. Alas, we have stilled the world so successfully that it is over-heating.
