LOOK OUT

Have your gears started moving yet? I'm pretty sure all of mine aren't. One big fat gear may be the only one moving in my head ever - so - slow - ly. Shouldn't be long before it makes one complete rotation and all the other tickings will begin; As did the tickings in the brain of Ralph Emerson, leader of the mid-19th century Transcendentalist movement. Around 1836 the poet and philosopher's vision was characterized into the drawing below. it reads (phrase is completed from original text):

"Standing on the bare ground,--my head bathed by the blithe air, and uplifted into infinite space,--all mean egotism vanishes. I become a transparent eye-ball. I am nothing. I see all. The currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; I am part or parcel of God"- from Nature by Ralph Waldo Emerson
