Stunning

 
Dear Colleagues on Both Sides of the Desk,


“How can one well  use his ignorance,
which his growth requires, who has so
often to be using his knowledge?”  (HDT)
 
Sustaining Sustainability Sustainably

Do we realize what an asset ignorance is?
Stunned stupidity?  Wind power and waves:
Renewable resource. Infinite jest   Get it?.

Of course not.
Not in this environment. 
Deny it.. Cover it over.
We can't value it or put it in play.

Imagine (if you can) that any time you come
across something  that doesn’t make your
sense you could turn it up, put it in play,
wonder, ask, like Micah, Tuesday,
out of nowhere: “what’s an
'amnion, 'amniotic,'?.”

       womb, whelm, matrix, alma matrix
       what we swim in hysterically: all
       soaking wet with theories of
       damp and dry.

Dumb questions. Perfect. Don't cost a dime
in tuition: they counter intuition.  What ? What
the? What the hell? just right attitude and
frame of mind for study.

Student:   be one.
 
Like the student last year, out of nowhere asks
well what do you mean by 'environment' any way,
and isn’t the environment of this class,  this school,
more interesting and maybe more important—
priority wise—than the environ mental concerns
with clean air, streams, polar bears & golf carts,
Leeds certification,. steep slope construction &
cataclysmic quakes, sudden tsunamis and nuclear
fall-out? Primarily: if not in real-time, chronologically?"

Bought the house down, so to speak.Eco-logically:
 
But it can’t be asked: the ignorant question.
Stunning, it makes us stupid--an
occupational  hazard we can't
afford.  Pity.Pathological.
