Out of the Water
Text by Christopher LaRosa My Name is Gaia. I am Mother Earth, a pale blue dot, a sphere of life surrounded by inanimate immensity. I am a living entity, a global organism with a cosmological life span. I have existed for eons, but am only now awakening, developing self-awareness as a flickering consciousness of human collective. My nervous system fires across an interconnected global network of electronic synapses and my night side lights up-- bioluminescence on a planetary scale. I am the lithosphere biosphere, noösphere, and technosphere-- a planetary realm of cognizance, a global unity of human action, a sphere of emerging intelligent influence. "The Earth and Myself are of one mind."* I am Terra Sapiens *Chief Joseph of the New Perce |
