Everything flows and nothing stays.
I can feel no sense of measure
No illusions as we take refuge in young man’s pleasure
Breaking down the dreams we make real
Yeah, the world would swing
if I were king
If Columbus was wrong,
I’d drive straight off the edge
The crust is elusive when it casts forth
to the childlike man
All entities move and nothing remains still.
Oh, there’s a mountain
that no man has mounted
I’m gonna stand on the peak
Did you think that your feet had been bound
by what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
by the future you picked?
Well, come on down.
Lay me on the ground and fly me in the sky
Show me where to look, tell me, what will I find?
What will I find?
Some were never meant to leave the ground
Nothing to see here, move along
Nobody to hear your black swan song
Butterfly in the sky,
I can go twice as high
Read the scene where
gravity is pulling me around
Shift the swaying river’s shift
Oceans fall and mountains drift
Up and up, up and up
There is no up and down in Universe; in, out, and around exist.
Buckminster Fuller
Cosmography : A Posthumous Scenario for the Future of Humanity
Imagine all the people…
She says, “It’s only in my head.”
She says, “Shh, I know it’s only in my head.”
Up and up, up and up
Everything changes and nothing stands still.
Minds are like parachutes:
They function only when they are open.
Louisville Times
The eyes are useless
when the mind is blind
Now Andy did you hear about this one?
Under water,
Time is standing still
You’re the treasure,
Dive down deeper still
Wandering stars might fade away, but you
Know that the Sun is here to stay
I hoped to find why the world wasn’t glowing
It’s darker as we end this ride
You could not step twice into the same river.
We all end in the ocean
We all start in the streams
We’re all carried along by the river of dreams
