(6) EARTH TALKS TIME
Great grandmother galaxy says, if turtle and tree are the wisest
of all of my great grandchildren, you humans are the youngest by
far. You are so young that you are the last, the ones who come at
the end of the becoming. You are so young you cannot remember that
my wisdom is the wisdom of the Earth. If turtle and tree are wise
in their knowledge of time, then Earth is the wisest of all.
Earth is the shape of time and the shaper of time. Everything you
can be and know is spun from Earth's own spin. You are the Earth.
The Earth is you. Spinning the universal song of day-and-night,
Earth's time is your time. Your time is yours alone to spin. How
will you spin your time? Listen to the story of time and you will
then find out!
In that long ago when the becoming was just beginning, when turtle
had spread its life in all its species around Earth's single sea
and island realms, and tree had spread all of its shapes in time
from rocky hills to cloudy heights. Deep within her core, Earth
was happy.
Now I have children who will remember my true nature down through
all the ages of the becoming, Earth said to herself. And then she
sang her song of time:
What is my Earthly shape in time?
a circle turning in its rhyme
a set of balls one in the other
a magnet spinning in cloud cover
a radio station of living sound
a spiraling heart-beat soft and round
Look up look down what do you see
sun moon and stars keep time with me
Everything turns on the universal spin
day is out, night is in
from the spin form a sphere
make it whirl now and here
to help the sphere keep its shape
draw an axis long and straight
at top and bottom North and South pole
Earth's time circles on common goal
Earth is the shape of time. Earth's shape is a sphere, a round
ball. The sphere is the common shape of great grandmother galaxy
and all of great grandmother galaxy's children and grandchildren.
This is because the common shape of time is also a sphere.
Every sphere has an invisible center. This invisible center holds
the sphere together and gives it its shape in time. Time is what
radiates from this center. Time is what holds the sphere together.
Time gives the sphere or any form its shape.
Time is like the sun. The sun radiates its light and energy to
all of the planets of the solar system. The orbit of the last planet
gives round form to sun's radiating power. This round form is a
large sphere whose center is the sun.
Like the sun, time radiates its shaping power outward in the form
of a sphere. This is how Earth works, too.
At Earth's spherical center is a dense crystalline core. This crystal
core floats in a sea of molten iron. Through this core an axis passes.
This axis connects the north and south magnetic poles. Lines of
magnetic force run through the core from pole to pole.
Deep within my crystal core
time stores its vast magnetic lore
my tides in rhythm with the moon
my songlines flowing from the sun
my heart beats time
to life's puling endless rhyme
now I give you a riddle in time
a center, an axis, an outer shore
an ocean to unfold time's lore
a turtle, a tree, a human child
a shell, a trunk, a mind gone wild
if time is the riddle and you are the clue can
you know where to find the Hunab Ku?
