Sweetness of Sweet Kitty
The iron melds were broken,
as I brushed sweet kitty in a
dying wish of franklinite
as a melting puddle of geosmina
saddened, he saw me with the
moon of blackness; sweet kitty,
he loved me through lighted castles
in winding fables of footfalls
in a faded staircase of echoes;
a heart aching for knowledge,
as it were, and in his words, dark
and isolated - suddenly a Chinook;
a shucking that shucked sweet kitty
as he became delighted in flakes of
snow ether and contented in markings,
he awakened and gained his running
with live things, rested and bursting
with the scent of earth’s particles,
the dull incandescent, mechanical
for the first time in the bedazzled
tiny whites of a new Scutum, woven
in Trillium lilies of kindness;
the folks here are strict – but fair to
forget kitty that you ever saw me, I say,
three times and twice again,
leave me that bag of chin’toc seals,
and I'll resolve you may solve my blitheness.

of
it
(whatever it means)

Pishashee, luv :-* ~
To me, this poem embodies the essence of cats: fey, fleeting, volatile, mercurial, tender, evanescent, ephemeral as mist when they want to be, and omnipresent at other times.
There's more here than that, but that's what's struck me with incredible strength: how fully you convey them in their entirety, which is no easy task because you capture their mystique and mysticism as well. There is a reason the ancient Egyptians worshipped them... :-*

Your description that embodies the essence of cats is also that of a quantum thought experiment. You’re precise, and I’m impressed. This is where my mind hangs out; with fyzics kats. As hypothetical as it were as a thought experiment – it became the embodiment that gave birth to the modern dynamics of science. “the atom is an oscillating system -- like the string of a musical instrument.” Kitty cats like “string theory”; stuff like that. Your mind works the same way and that’s why things look familiar. The atoms come in, they do their little dance, and then they leave. Science and theory, and story too for that matter, is about chain reaction. You understand it Savaja and I can appreciate that. Your mind is open to it, and so it’s received. The poem itself; I’m still working on some of the wording for a better flow, thank you so much for the compliment. As it were, it should probably be read with a bit of “decoherence.” Warning: When physics comes to light, it is blinding, and the electricity cannot be let go of. But it’s really good stuff though. I just have to figure out for what. Love the Egyptians and their respect for cats.
Or, maybe I was just thinking too hard this morning. :)

Oh, luv, you are a marvel and I am highly honored!!!
I admit, this poem felt soooo familiar: now that you say it, quantum mechanics makes sense to me in some rather esoteric, quirky, and metaphysical ways. I like, very much, this thought experiment, luv. :-*

Physics becomes one of those things that you know, but can only recognise in your heart. It is deeply hidden. Its like this, Physics is Brahma, and Brahma is Physics, and if you think you know, then you don't know them at all. And when you think its out of reach of knowing, somehow, there it is. The best thing about it Savaja, is that its not a metaphor, it really actually is. It is the Universe reacting to you, and as fleeting as it is at times, it's a feeling indescribable. Something awesome and pure. But you have to love it, really love it and give it away. This is how I truly feel about it. Its such that your heart has eyes that your brain knows nothing of. Its the life of love, neverending, and a love of life itself, just for what it is.
I think its funny when men try and complicate life and science with their silly measurements. I just laugh at them. They're here for the entertainment only. ;) As awesome as that is.

Oh, Pishashee, luv :-* ~
You have no idea how precious your words are to me, but they are as fine as morsels of freshest fruit giving to one having starved for long, so long.
I gave up, you see. I remember sitting in my college physics course desperately trying to comprehend my professor. Futility. Throughout the years, though, I have read of quantum thought and it has fascinated me. It seems the possibilities are endless... We are only limited by ourselves.
I love you for giving me this piece of myself. :-*

This poem reminds me a lot of my Charlie. Charlie was my cat. I’ll tell you more about him sometime if you want me too. He was a good cat Charlie was. The thing about it is Savaja, is that I’m not sure if sweet Charlie is dead or alive.
Physics can be very confusing. I've not taken Physics class. I've taken Biology, Physical Science, Zoology, Astronomy, and Nutrition,
For instance nutrition teaches a lot about heat intake in calories and Krebs cycle and how the body reacts in “relation to all the relations” with said nutrition. Keep in mind that all these things have underlying measurements. A calorie is a measurement of heat exchange.
For nother instance, Zoology is the study of earth's creatures in relation to their environment due to millions of years of evolutionary pressures, aka, the ecology of the world. The measured element is evolutionary pressures. It gives reasons to why evolution occurs; elemental atmospheric pressures.
You hear the term natural selection [NS] and yet there are different modes to NS.
A phenotype is an expression where genetic makeup is genotype; a genotype is an expression of alleles, alleles form as a determined gene of a particular trait. There are dominate and recessive traits. Phenotypes change according to the environment.
When one phenotype is at a disadvantage there is a distribution shift inside the actual trait moving toward the advantageous phenotype to be dominate, and through millions of years of evolutionary pressures, aka time, gives rise to a new dominate gene.
This is only one example of three types of NS, it’s called directional selection and it happens in the smallest increments of time in the smallest of places; DNA
And if you want understand it more you can look up the Directional Selection of the Peppered Moth before the industrial revolution. These types of mutations happened in all species according to environment on the smallest of scale.
Through our language, It does sound familiar doesn't it? I wrote that not even knowing where I was going Savaja. That is so funny sometimes. Irony: inspiration first, irony afterwards. I have the dumbest story about me and irony. Long story short my mother was an idiot for telling me that craziness. Not the irony part really, but warning me of the dangers; it’s kept me from writing forever. What am I afraid of?
Has anyone ever told you something about you when you were a kid, or anytime really, and it made you question everything for the rest of your fucking life over what they said? Not to mention the things that was done. Anyway
I relate to it in this way. I have a dominate mind, a strong mind, and my mind will not be masked due to intimidation. Not after the cannoli storm I’ve been put through my whole life. I’m a strong willed person, wherever it comes from (see aforementioned explanation of DNA) :)
If you can look at the world and see that it’s pretty fucked up, which it is, including its environment, and then look what you've been through and take all the pressures of your environment into consideration, and come to terms with why you've been shut out for so long and forgive yourself for letting it happen, and are willing to learn and relearn. Also known as starting with yourself and stop conforming to an ill environment; maybe we’re indigo children after all.
Call it whatever you want. It’s all science to me, and it’s all in the genes, and at the heart of those genes is physics. . Physics is at the heart of all quantum reaction; all environmental changes.
Do not feel bad that you did not grasp, nor give up on it and here's why. It's okay. Physics sounds intimidating. According to future aspirations is where a physics class will come into play. It is applied in life for scientists and engineers as per bridge building and such things and problem solving where mathematics is needed for measurement, and yes you learn about entropy and thermodynamics - but what is the subject? Heat pumps and refrigeration systems that teaches you through deductive reasoning why the Titanic sank. You learn about Carnot cycles, volumes, scalars, and heat expansion; so what, entropy changes in a free expansion by the way. I wish I had more time. But I would love to talk more about Physical Science and Biology perhaps sometime. Tell you what happened to Charlie
I really need to fix that poem. "franklinite" That’s just bad poetry.

Here's the thing: that was the case with DNA; they were once positive it took quite some time to effect genetic changes in organisms: phenotype change according to environmental factors. Certainly, that is the extant theory behind why chimpanzees and bonobos have diverged in culture so significantly despite having something around 98.5 percent common DNA, both groups having more in common with humans than any other on the planet.
Yet, each group is utterly, drastically, radically different in terms of culture and societal structure. Chimpanzees have a violent society dominated by conflict and brutality while bonobos have a nurturing society dominated by collectivism, strong social bonds, intensive sexual interaction constantly solidifying those bonds, and cooperation.
All of this difference is attributed to a shift in environment that occurred in a relatively small region in habitat where chimpanzees were forced to compete with gorillas for sustenance and bonobos were not because of a catastrophic event eliminating gorillas from their side of the equation. Okay. Okay. Scientific theory...
Here's the sweetness of irony, luv. Now, they begin to test the mind, psychology - much is taking place in psychology these days. I have an interest in Psychoneuroimmunology. At any rate, they are discovering that within the human animal, at least, genetic changes can occur on a broad scale within ONE generation. There is a book: Rainy Brain, Sunny Brain by a neurologist and psychologist named Elaine Fox that you may find of interest on this subject, luv. :-* The mind itself exhibits much more elasticity than previously attributed to it. It was thought, initially, that once one passed the age of approximately five, it was not possible to grow new neurons, that things were essentially as they would be. Certainly, new pathways could form in compensation for trauma or injury that had taken place, say, in one blinded or injured somehow, but no new neurons would form. What you had at five was what you had for life. This was disproven fairly recently in some interesting research that definitively proved that even the very old could and do develop new neurons. I urge you to read the above-mentioned book. It is a treasury of information.
Great things are afoot. As Socrates said, The only thing I know is that I know nothing, eh? :-* Seems he was ahead of the game as far as Physics was concerned.
Biology has always been of great interest to me, in particular genetics: alleles, genomes, phenotype, genotype, DNA, chromosomal selection, the whole shebang. Ah, Pishashee, I am enjoying our conversation, luv...:-*
DO tell me of Charlie, please. Cats are a slice of paradise as far as I'm concerned. I've nearly always been blessed with their implacably loving presences here and there. We have one presently; one of our loves just expired. Twas terribly traumatic and we are barely recovering. My son is convinced if we but had another, our home would return to normalcy...
And, I'm not entirely convinced franklinite is bad poetry, luv. However, I will leave that up to your purview. You wield a mighty pen indeed. :-*
As for your dominant mind, go ahead, dominate, oh dominatrix! ;-)

I think you're awesome, and so glad that you're here. I cant wait to get more time to talk about it; the animals, zoology, the sociology of groups, and Charlie, but I just wanted to offer you this: See you later. :)

Phenotype change according to environmental factors. Absolutely.
Bonobos have sex for pleasure. Very few animals do that.
“Psychoneuroimmunology” that is very interesting. That would have to do with disease control and prevention? You are really into it and that’s awesome. Let it take you wherever you want to go. We never know of others irony until it unfolds. If you are a writer then irony is a must to keep it timeless. And this is only my opinion of course. I have studied it my whole life; such as life.
I’m very interested in psychology as well, and know it subjectively objectively overt and covert and extensively as outside mechanics of… why and such. I guess I shouldn't say know as much as understand. I understand my mind (most days)
I was always a people watcher when their interest got in my path; I would read theories, watch them and see if the actions fit theirs. Sometimes yes and sometimes no, sometimes you have to go with another theory and behavior. I never guess to the point of end judgments though.
Basically I learned that age old adage. If it waddles like a duck and quacks like a duck, (and then all that sort of thing that rains and puddles along with it. :)
But sometimes, if it talks like a duck and walks like a duck; then it is only acting to be a duck. I really quack myself up sometimes.
I’ve worked in the field of nursing and psychology in some way forever it seems – as a technical trade.
Last year I finally got to take the academic classes: Normal and Abnormal. Are you a current student too? If that is where your heart is, especially if you can do some good with it, then it’s all good
I have to admit I leave the societal lot of psychology alone these days. It’s incredibly interesting when you add the theories of sociology in with it. I apologize for not answering everything. I hope to get back again in a few days. I’m so swamped lately and I know you know how it is.
I’ve been doing some editing work and helping some kids on another site with their compositions. I like helping the young ones find their voice in poetry. I'm all about the kids (young adults) and their writing. They're really open minded and I want whats best for them.
Charlie tripped on some lightening one night. I don't mean to leave you hanging. I am so sorry. :)
its always good talking to you.

Sex for enjoyment within the animal kingdom is definitely an unusual thing and bonobos are a unique creature. Uniquely fascinating, as well...
Psychoneuroimmunology or Neuropsychoimmunology - either works, I believe centers around the study of the disease process from the perspective of how does what we think play a real role in illness and taking a look at brain function in terms of seeing what is really occurring: whether what we feel can affect, does affect health substantively, in measurable (quantifiably measurable) ways. The short answer is, of course, that it does. I believe, in Japan, they have discovered this in some very dramatic ways with the intensity placed on employees to perform. People are dropping dead, quite literally, from too much stress and too little else to compensate.
Psychology IS rather fascinating. Attempts to suss out human behavior and motivation often are, I find. We will find ways to be ever-interesting creatures. I have been a student and until quite recently was working on my Master's degree. I am taking a hiatus from school. A much-needed one. I am heartily sick of academia right now. I wrote a poem about that. :-p
Please do not worry about apologies or leaving me hanging, luv. We continue as we can. I am often running about in chaos. And, really, I am the remiss one. You gave me a link to a video which I have not yet viewed, I confess. I will, though. I am enjoying our conversations a great, great deal, luv. :-*
The editing work you are doing with young poets sounds quite, quite marvelous, luv. I think it is of immense value and you are kind to do it. I have found working with students to be rewarding when I have done so.
Charlie sounds as though he had quite an eventful time of things, poor kitty.
We will continue to converse, as we may, intermittently. Life is full of vagaries, eh, luv? :-*
