TURQUOISE BEE

Ennead I, Sixth Tractate, Plotinus

The same bodies appear sometimes beautiful, sometimes not; so that there is a good deal between being body and being beautiful.

Bees carry an electrostatic charge.

Each blade of grass has its spot on earth whence it draws its life, its strength

Man is spirit (and all spirit is matter, more refined and pure than mortal element. There is no such thing as immaterial matter). The elements are eternal, and spirit and element, inseparably connected, receive a fulness of joy.

laughing is just another way of showing people you are wise

Unbeing dead isn't being alive

We never put back into the tree what we took out of it: we had given him nothing, and it made me sad.
