Insightful Mind (a portrait of nature at work)
We are children racing our homemade boats down the neighbourhood brook; they course, spin, upend and capsize.
Our original synthetic minds rework the design of our watercraft and set them off on ever renewed journeys through dangerous ravines, across vast expanses of calm deep waters... Our technique is refined and perfected... We put sails on our boats and weigh their keels to keep them upright... Our journeys are longer; we launch further upstream and navigate further from home...
We build dams to control the flow of the stream, canals to circumvent obstacles, islands for sojourn on sunny days... We deepen the shallows and avoid barrier reefs...
We throw pebbles to create ripples which affect the vessels' trajectories and we are there, on board, in our imagination... Our pebbles become rocks and their nearness becomes bombardment... and our rocks become boulders... enormous, all we can succeed in lifting above our heads to catapult into the stream... Peaceful sea travel has become full fledged warfare... We are the defenders and the assailants, both friend and foe... Our craft are reduced to beached and sunken wrecks. We tire of this play and move on...
Now we decide to explore the stream to its first sources: we follow its windings to a reservoir which furnishes the town's drinking water, continue upstream, find a beaver dam, discover ground fed waters, redirect springtime or storm run-off... so many ramifications of our waterworld...
Each season changes the watershed... winter's ice breaks and flows... low lying land is inundated... tadpoles swim in shallow pools and decomposed leaves float and accumulate in eddies in spring... summer brings warm wading water and trout fishing...
We are nature's accomplices and engineers... learning without books, the untold treasures of youthful insightful mind...
