World Weavers

May 20, 2023

A bi-weekly conversation in Zoom, every second Saturday at 8am Pacific Time, inspired by the world building session with Trimtab Space Camp Mesosphere visionary Tony Patrick in 2020. In our conversations, we mused that we were a World Weavers Web, weaving synergetically as a synarchy, rather than in the dominant mode of dominating over nature as architects and builders, and collectively agreed to change the name of the group to World Weavers.

Reparenting My Inner Children

A conversation between Gaia and my inner children: Luna Solterra (light feminine, senses, perception, mermaid), Theodore aka Ted (dark masculine, mind, cognition, otter), Nueva (dark feminine, heart, emotion, octopus), and Circ (light masculine, body, action, dolphin). They live in the spheres of light radiating from stars and the waves of gravity holding the universe together, swimming in an ocean of love.

“The scientific word for the integral of all the special case realizations of gravity is love. Love is the integral of gravity and radiation.”

— R. Buckminster Fuller, Synergetics 543.21, 543.22

The Girl, the Otter, the Octopus and the Dolphin by Stephen Bau. Charcoal and coloured pencils on Cross Pointe Genesis Script Tallow 28 lb. paper stock. Inspired by Charlie Mackesy’s illustrations for The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse.

Gaia: In the panic of waking up to being in an ocean of unknowing, uncertainty, and possibility, there are many ways to respond: fear, awe, wonder, and love. Find the presence of mind in the midst of panic to listen to the instruction to let go and find calm, peace, and beauty by floating. There is much to learn about facing fear with courage by trusting in the body’s natural ability to float rather than the frantic struggle in a desperate effort to survive.

Slow down, rest, heal, float, and sync

Gaia: Witness what happens as you are able to let the body do what it already knows how to do. Just like the body of the Earth, your body knows how to breathe, to circulate oxygen, absorb nutrients, and coordinate trillions of cells in symbiotic harmony. Learn from yourself, from the nature of being alive, to feel yourself restored, regenerated, replenished, and rejuvenated. Be yourself. You are Nature. You are Earth. You are Universe. You are One.

Teaching an old world new tricks The title is meant to allude to the old idiom, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” That seems to be the feeling that I get from people as they try to imagine how anything could possibly change about this precarious situation that our world finds itself in, because of the attempt of humans to teach this old world new t…
