I disagreed with the claim the squash had more lifeforce because of its longevityBeyond (HERE)a possibility of flashingAfter all when the pumpkin dies — its body will be consumed by fungusWe understand — Don’t we? What the intention was —for me — as long as we limit the lifeforce to our singular and temporary body — we are unable to grasp the sheer magnitude and mystery of LifeA web is even better than the expanding sphere as a marker for what we become before and after — as I know from trying to remove the arachnids from our boat — they always come backAlthough — Arachne — the 13th sign of the Zodiac is a modern fiction — the lunar calendrical aspect — as well as a sign that sits mid-influence — is a great metaphorIn the African tradition — there is a similar — No -trance — Trance — as part of an iniation ceremony one becomes possessed by ‘all’ the spirits — arriving at the place in between — the No-trance — tranceBy the time I was done sitting on the Parson’s bench — the fog had burned away — all the webs stood bright and naked — exhibiting generation upon generation of life forceNo matter what befalls them today — there will be new webs tomorrow and long afterNew webs, today, tomorrow, and yesterdaySubscribeMuch love,Con/Jur/d, 8/19/2022
