Water flows, life grows. A wise woman, talented animator, and recent influence of mine once told me that the ocean was the world's mind, the land its body, and the beach its face. She also told me about Metabolic Studios. And how she doesn't like what people in the 1930s did to the beautiful LA River. If water was the Earth's mind, we robbed the LA River of the ability to form new neural pathways. Saltwater has sodium ions. Freshwater often has calcium ions. Sodium and calcium ions flowing can produce electricity. Like it does in the brain. And the brain constantly reconnects. Like the flow of the river. They really did steal the LA River's soul. Its lifeblood. Its sacred metabolism. Pumped it full of chemicals against its will. Just to sustain our comfortable post-industrial western ways. She got a DUI, and also seemed to lose interest in all things electronic. As she cared about the environment and bringing back older ways of living, I'm sure there's a silver lining to that. Synchronicity. She is fire and land. I sadly have made up for her now-smaller carbon footprint since we fell out. I hope she's well.
