Does a constellation know it has stars?.....
Perhaps, stars can know it but realize it.

I really liked this question.

anne artist said...

well that is a huge question.....does a constellation know it has stars?

in many way, i am a constellation....yet do i know that within me are many stars?

yet, if i were a star, at least some of the time, i might not realize that the other stars were connected to be in the bigger picture. i might believe that only what i saw before me was what existed and that no such thing as a constellation existed.

sara, thank you for talking with me about these older posts.

Sara said...

What would we be without our past? Even when some of us want to forget it.

I like the image of yourself as a contellation mmm......and that would probbably be a definition of what a human being really is, full of things and wonderful mysteries we just ignore.

I was looking only for the posts that do not have any comments.........by the way; and what better than olders, maybe forgotten...??

anne artist said...

even i have forgotten them. it is interesting to see how the drawings have changed over time, too. so thank you for noticing the older posts. what would the blog be without its past, to quote from you.....even if i have forgotten it.

"wonderful mysteries we just ignore" wow.....

Sara said...

A draw is a following step of what we live in the moment, a snapshot of our thought in that little second.
But yours Anne, yours are just.......undefinables, crazies. I confess they fly me away. They are differents, adictives and also posesives.

Even if you have forgotten them, they keep the essence you gave them since they were created by you.

anne artist said...

thank you, sara. and in some ways, they create me, too. enable me to connect with thoughts beyond my own, with people like you.

your description of the blog made me laugh out loud......could you hear me?

Sara said...

Well, I wonder if does the fact of my anxiety of seing your answers would be accepted as I really could hear you......

anne artist said...

i don't know. i wonder if there is some underlying anxiety in the process of relating to another human being.

Sara said...

Every connection in life is energy, and energy is felt even being farther away. I think.

I do not know how you feel about our....talks, but for me, they are specials in some way. They are of the kind you never forget and you always estimate.
Thanks.

anne artist said...

yes, connections are energy; i would agree. although so often we are not noticing the energy; focusing on getting our needs met....the ego not a noticer of energy.....

i do like our talks. they cause me to reconsider and i appreciate the connection, the energy. thank you as well.

Sara said...

Well, does not everything has to be connected?
If it does, then ego has to noticy energy for can be connected; doesn't it?
Or if it does not, then could be ego not to be connected or could it be but with something else?
If answer is yes, wouldn't be the new question "what does have a connection with ego?"...?

anne artist said...

that is certainly an interesting question. what do you think?

when i am in my ego, i am not feeling that third force energy that connects us. i am more in a control mode. it is about Me, not us. i feel separate then.

Sara said...

But that "us" connects you to your ego. You cannot have ego if it's not because of something else, in this case to the "us".
I think one feels separate because that's the sensation that causes us ego.

I think...it could have several answers and I still don't know any of them.

anne artist said...

"I think...it could have several answers and I still don't know any of them."

another poem.

i am just discovering micro or flash fiction. interesting stuff. a story in 100 words. your sentences contain so much in a very few words...

maybe instead of us......all....i like the thought about separateness and ego. one causes the other and then it is the other's turn to be the cause.....there just is separation..,

Sara said...

Cause and consequence in which there is vice versa...interesting.

anne artist said...

we think we are walking a straight line but maybe it's just a loop.

Sara said...

A loop, cool. I hope no one falls from there, because it's high, isn't it?

anne artist said...

hmm...might be high and low and everything in between.

Sara said...

That sounded to me like the unevenness of life. And it also made me laught.

anne artist said...

the smooth, evenness of life.....deserving of laughter.

Sara said...

Refreshing.

anne artist said...

yes.....to refresh.....
