No unread replies.No replies.
NOTE: THIS IS A VERY DIFFERENT KIND OF DISCUSSION BOARD ASSIGNMENT
Pretend you’re Heraclitus. Write 2-3 fragments about modern humanity’s relationship to nature, the wild, the wildreness–maybe the way in which our relationship to Gaia is mediated through technology, or food, or work. Play with the themes we’ve been talking about for the last few classes, but do it in the style of Heraclitus. Also, please take the time to comment on other people’s fragments.

Fire of all things
is the judge and ravisher.

How, from a fire
that never sinks
or sets,
would you escape?

One thunderbolt strikes
root through everything.

No being, not the sun
itself, exceeds due measure,
but contending powers
set things right.

Dawn turns to dusk
around the pivot
of the North.
Southward lies
the zone
of greater light.

Without the sun,
what day? What night?
32
The sun is new
again, all day.
