Spring 2025, #48

The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us the less taste we shall have for the destruction of our race. Wonder and humility are wholesome emotions, and they do not exist side by side with a lust for destruction. 
-Rachel Carson

Editor’s Note:
So now, here we are, in this place and time, with the Center’s newsletter #48, the latest—and we mean the latest—yet. For those of you who missed the bus, this newsletter brings it back around, so you can join us on our explorations and interpretations over the last year. In our various loopings we have come to the realization that just about everything is remote sensing: experience occurs between one place and another (here and there), one time and another (now and then), and one person and another (me and you). Our eyeballs are like satellites, scanning the physical world’s reflected light with rods and cones, and our ears are like antennas, with stereocilia sensitive to invisible vibrations. Our hands reach out to you, to span the gap, and make a connection, affirming our shared existence in a physical world. Welcome aboard.
