As Within, So Without
The Dreamtime of the Universe
is a place
deep in space
as Above,
so Below
here
in the solum
the solemn solum
of Living Grace
as Within
so Without
as The Universe
so The Soul
She’s alive in our lovely living planet’s…
and our own
parent material…
Dirt!
Black. Humusy.
Seething with bioturbation,
earthworms,
nematodes,
protozoa,
thick with root hairs,
exudates,
mycelium,
bacteria,
communities…
where Dark digests Light
where lurk the collective souls of Creation…
Soil!
Living soil is the Universe, submersed –
Chthonic
a pantheon primeval
under an arboretum ceiling
concealing-revealing –
where Dark digests Light.
Photons freewheeling
dirt digesting infinite information
making it usable,
making it Matter…
making the Dream Come True!
Mycelium running,
hydrogen-helium stunning…
BURST!
into verse…
into The Universe
this is The Dream of Gaia
this is The Dream of You
alive
through the Alchemy of Dirt.
