Planck's Legacy
1.
without seat belts to hold you
on the roller-coaster ride
memories
neither here nor there
flare divisions like acrobats
diving into space
with more elegance than thought possible
September's swan lifts her long neck
and wings away
where is Heisenberg's principle when
you need it the most?
2.
there's a lotus growing in my cosmic soup,
my feet mud roots tying rocks to clouds
the equation of dark matter
my singular paradox.
3.
the blessing
every butterfly knows
breaks open this chrysalis,
freeing me from myself, I walk
through doors.

Plancks Constant holds the universe together
I assume "youcc" was a typo.
Science, maths and poetry hold a similar elegance for me.
Love this one,

It's not jargon, it's science and poetry
google Planck's Constant

I meant it in quotetation Jess
I understand the science, I simply refer to the eloquent use of the vocabulary of science, or what I know as jargon.

By the way, Anna,
although I have renounced almost all my spirituality, no longer regarding myself as a Shaman (although I do have the powers, I regard them them as yet to be understood science) it is simply that- spirituality is that which we don't understand- yet.

Indeed. Spirituality evolves
Indeed. Spirituality evolves as the human being evolves. You may leave your *self-definition* behind but shaman shall always be one rung (of the ladder) you are standing on (simultaneously).
And thank you IKnowNoBox, it's all *jargon* on some level of comprehension, in one universe
of existence or another.. ;-)

Hi Stan,
Hi Stan,
One poem, three parts. One world, three ways of seeing....yours, mine and theirs.
Smile, this is your life.
