Backround: Ploughing On A Sunday

I can remember the wind, smell, the white cocks all around the tall grass. I used to spend the summers of my childhood watering the fields. Sitting on Grandpa Wally's lap as he let me steer the wheel with the assistance of his of his long skinny legs pushing the pedals. The diesel poured from the exhaust tip, it sounded like a distant trains horn screaming. I helped plough the fields in the early morning when moonlight had yet to cease for the day. Everyday after supper Wally and I could sit on the veranda, listening to the wind pour through our souls to the grass where it made the distinct eloquent rhythm.

Tattoo

The light is like a spider.
It crawls over the water.
It crawls over the edges of the snow.
It crawls under your eyelids
And spreads its webs there--
Its two webs.

The webs of your eyes
Are fastened
To the flesh and bones of you
As to rafters or grass.

There are filaments of your eyes
On the surface of the water
And in the edges of the snow.

The idea of perception and inspection in its elementary beginnings of infancy. seeing how the world is, before knowing what the world is. Looking at the earth through a clueless magnify glass, scrutinizing every detail to the fullest focusing only on sight to gain understanding. 

The Void

I have never made a blog before in my life so stay with me while I get through it and try to explain what I thought was a great part in Of The Nature Of Things: Particularly The Void,

The existence of invisible particles is supported  by other invisible bodies.  Particles move throughout bodies which is why they can exist.

"Lastly if two broad bodies leap asunder quickly from a meeting, surely it must needs be that air seized upon all the void". (Lucretius) The void exists because of open space, without the void the ability for a body to go from place to place is impossible.


As I have been reading through Of The Nature of Things, Understanding the void seemed important. My insight would be the void is the parts that work around the bodies. For example the air that flows throughout the world in open space, if the air particles didn't exist in the void life couldn't be sustained by anyone or thing because bodies wouldn't be able to enter any other space. The bodies and the void have a symbiotic relationship in this world and its where we exist. 

"That which we're seeking with sagacious quest
     Exists, infallibly, commixed with things—
     The void, the invisible inane". (Lucretius)
