///MIFLOW///

weeknights at my windchime windowsill

hearing the city's sights while i sit still

loosely rolled & fiercely lit

lies a feeling that will never quit

sensing that i don't belong, but i fit

right here, i fit

in farness.. but i'm near

nestled in the clouds so clear

ridding of my fears so i can love

all that's beneath, surrounding me, above

a flow that pulls me back to nature

& i'm so sure that i've found her

that i feel her & i'm with her & i'm in her

the inner self that i've explored

the dimensions betwixt i have soared

with patterns that entwine my mind

fulfilling me more than times combined

three tenses do not close me in

cos i've flown through space & time within

i've flown through space & time within

i lie here thinking 'bout how stars don't lie

each of us is one of them, in a mirrored mirror sky

with three eyes wide we will see

how it was always meant to be

away from self-destruction, awaken

break down man's constructions, forsake 'em

it's vibrations that we're made of

swirling lights of music, starstuff

a tail of red, a crown infinitely white

focus on the center, take flight take flight take flight

here the leaves are brown, but somewhere they are green

reflecting the circle of life in you & inside me

we are all prismatic energy

rainbows bright in synergy

a rose quartz shows us love, it's there for us to feel

if Eros creates hurt, an amethyst will heal

if daytime is a shining night

then shadows are but blinding light

release the negative & positive we will grow

don't hold it all in, just let go & flow

don't hold it all in, just let go &

flow, flow, flow

Cosmic Love

///ZEROH///

look. listen. feel.

& every face is like a mirror of my own in one way or another

the universe without, the universe within; in nature, of nature; in stillness, & in motion

///DOME///

The Dome Advantage

() They are much stronger than conventional structures as environmental stresses are distributed evenly throughout all points. Thus they are able to withstand earthquakes & very strong winds. Geodesic domes are constructed using series of triangles or hexagons, adding additional strength to the dome shape.

() They are cost effective as they use about one-third less material to construct & can be built very quickly. Domes are so light they require no foundations, & stressed skin domes have no framework at all.

() They use less energy to keep warm or cool as they have approximately one-third less outside surface area than conventional structures. The less outside surface area, the less energy needed to heat & cool.

() They have a more open feeling to them than box structures due to the lack of corners, also giving the dome better air circulation & better acoustics.

() They blend in with nature with their organic shape, & their flexibility also allows them to be built semi-underground if desired.

Buckminster Fuller invented the geodesic dome in the 1950's. A true, true visionary of his time & forever. He believed in & lived by:

() Ephemeralization: doing more with less

() Synergetics: parts of a whole changing & working together

() Sustainability & Selflessness

() Spaceship Earth: a world view expressing concern over Earth's finite resources & the wish for everyone to act upon it as a harmonious crew working toward the greater good.

"I am not trying to imitate nature, but to understand her."

"People should think things out fresh & not just accept conventional terms & the conventional way of doing things."
"We have to respond to what the environment is doing."

"We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship & our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody."

Buckminster Fuller knew how to live life fuller. A beautiful man. Rest in peace, in love, in light, in harmony*
