Welcome back to part 2 of our exploration of the relationships between vegetality and being through poetry. Mark Payne discusses how poetry offers us a respite from the action-based, human meaning way in which narrative pushes us to express. It is through this lens of plantness that humans can experience the present moment as part of a larger whole.
He shows how ancient Greek poets used a plant vision to express this ecological vision. In doing so, one could experience themselves as part of the wholness of Life, rather than simply a participant or observer.
Words don’t really do this theme justice. There is so much to express that comes straight from the Beingness of the vegetal experience. I highly recommend you watch part 1 and part 2 to truly understand the expansive concepts being proposed. I found them enlightening!
