- day after day we go day after day now. the rest of the world is terror. this is no terror, not even the culling, the shattering of the thin shells of the crust. this is a moment to think about intelligence, the intelligence of the world, breaking out of the loop. this is the breaking out. . :this is the way the aging brain works. neurons skein, tangle, interlace, inter- weave. some die off. there are submerged strata absorbed by the other. the other is transformed into others. wisdom is the networks among the others. wisdom is the limestone, the submergence. wisdom is the marl gathered beneath the peat. there are large saw palmettos at chikeka. the brain is gathered among the confluence of life. the brain is self-reflecting, resonant, subsumption architecture. wisdom is the making-manifest of the network. wisdom is the culling of extraneity.:at chikeka, two men were fishing. we went through the hardwood hammock. a little girl took some mosquito-fish for her aquarium. watched the sawgrass. watched several killdeer. a turkey vulture landed in front of the car, flew around to the back. strangler figs everywhere. before that, oasis, back to the ibis rookery. there were heron mixed in. walked through the mudflats to the left of the runway. before that, back at shark valley. there were too many cars. back at chikeka a possum eating alligator eggs. on the way out the limestone showed. there were snake and crabholes everywhere. a huge flock of ibis, enormous, in big cypress. :anhinga:glossy ibis shrike tricolored heron green heron glossy ibis white ibis cormorant anhinga _
