“Foolishness as the ancestor of wisdom.”
Patrick Power has left.
Chronicler. Visionary. Web Guru. Wild Man.
He jumped into Niagara Falls.
And was gone.
Many no longer notice the sky and stars,
the wind and light and shadow,
the creatures and the creaking poles,
the electric flare and the mechanical doodad.
Patrick noticed. He was always looking, seeing.
He never saw the same thing twice.
He took thousands of photographs and videos.
He saw the things that others missed.
And considered their energy, their presence.
“The false binary of creation destruction.
Matter never created or destroyed.
It comes from a higher place. It changes as it falls.
This is constant.”
“Foolishness as the ancestor of wisdom.
Stopping as a way of moving forward.
Circles moving within circles moving within circles.
The evolutionary narrative.
The endless mystery as it unravels across time and space.
These things never happened
but always were.”
