‘Nature gives us clues on how communication works.’
I re-discovered this quote from Tree Carr while archiving the passages I had highlighted in Pauline Oliveros' Quantum Listening.
The night before, I wrote in my journal:
31 jan 176/237 live in your own world.
[presence]
leap:
say less
accept the possibility of
not being understood.
all the explaining i felt obliged to do didn't
make me feel understood.
Three days later, I visited the Natural History Museum with one question on my mind:
Does nature explain itself?
![]() |
We extend all over the world.
Transformed, compressed, or melting. Collided, pushed below.
Evidence of transformation, exploration and maneuvering.
Cracks form, the collision still going on.
Documented evolution. Lack of missing links.
Populations come into contact, almost entirely separated from one another.
Set off on an adventurous expedition, making unraveling mystery possible.
Carried away easily, often.
Formation of new questions, unable to break through.
Barriers play a decisive role, selectively dissolve.
![]() |
Observe, investigate, invent.
Continuously renewed curiosity and imagination.
What is this? How does this work?
What happens if people think?
Catastrophic environmental disaster.
The cycle begins again.
In case of emergency:
Breathe in air. Exist independently of thought.
Anticipate development. Withstand the pressure.
Manifest, form and collapse boundaries.
Shift a few centimeters each year.
![]() |
Borders can only be determined arbitrarily.
Consistently examined, closely monitored.
At the same time an unsolved mystery.
Identifying the sequence, completely decoding the entirety: hardly possible.
Most questions are still open.
Layers drifting apart or colliding.
The motion impacts the entire world, brought together or separated.
Separated by connection.
We are in the midst of a sixth mass extinction.
Changes are already being felt, natural habitat is disappearing.
