I recently heard on the Speaking of Faith podcast of Einstein's God dreamtime described by physicist Freeman Dyson as a state of being in both present time and in eternity at once. Pretty interesting this time, space, energy and matter stuff. Pretty interesting how we are seeing the amazing connections between science, the arts and spirituality.

Back to my dreamtime. I'm pondering, as I wait for my new fluorescent pigments to arrive, the idea of bioluminescence and the light within each human heart. I'm thinking about this new grid we are creating, the smart grid for energy distribution. Maybe what we can do is create a grid from the light inside each of us. From the visions each of us holds in our hearts and souls of a new world. It has been said so eloquently by Clarissa Pinkola Estes in her letter to a young activist during troubled times.

"Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires."
