IV




















to  attempt  to  Describe  this  Plant  in  greater  detail









would  be  an  Injustice  both  to  the  Incomparable  Beauty







of   the   Plant  









and  to  the  English  language,








which  has  no  means  thru  vocabulary  or  sentence  structure








to  create  in  the  minds  of  modern  Homo  Sapiens








the  indelible  visual  Tapestry  that  this  Plant  produced








( perhaps  in  a  future  Work  the  author








will  attempt  to  convey  a  faint  Glimmer  of  the  Majesty  of








this  Plant,  much  as  the  static  two  dimensional  depictions








of  animal  life  within  le  Cave  de  Lascaux  can  only  be 








an  introductory  or  symbolic  approximation  to  the  Wonder








of  the  living  Wild  Beast )  .  .  .












yet  it  must  be  said  here  that,









in  exact  Conjunction  with  the  Arrival  of  the  White  One








to  the  Grove  of  the  Dead,










there  would  be  an  equally  rare  Flowering








of  the  most  exquisitely  royal  blue  five - petaled  flower








( this  being  not  the  flower  of  the  terrestrial  world,





but  with  the  texture  and  appearance  of  a  sea  urchin





crossed  with  a  rose, 








with  the  petals  curving  pointed  at  the  ends









and  an  aura  encircling  them  reminiscent  of  the  White  One ) ...











Thus,  at  this  flowering  within  the  Grove  of  the  Dead,









( so  named  because  it  was  here  that  the  bodies








of  the  White  Ones  were  buried,  and  from  whose  remains









that  these  Plants  were  able  to  grow ;  indeed,  it  has  been








speculated  by  the  author  that  the  abundant  brain  matter









of  the  White  Ones  in  the  soil  is  what  allowed  this  Plant








to  grow  under  such  conditions,








or  perhaps  to  exist  at  all )










the  White  One  intertwined  her  Body









in  the  most  mathematically  impossible  Ways









with  this  Iridescently  Magnificent  Plant,










her  Tentacles  winding  spiral  Staircases  around








these  vegetative  Fireworks 








her  Heart  beating  in  rhythm








with  the  complex  pulsating  changes  in  colour








undergone  by  the  entire  Plant








as  every  fiber  of  this  organism  twitched








in  Technicolor  fantasy,








as  if  moving  in  concert









with  an  unseen  underwater  orchestra












as  if  floating  in  the  nebulous  Regions








where  two  Minds  meet










or  exploding  into  a  new  Reality











of  lighthouse  seahorses










and  rainbow  whales












of  electric  kelp  parades










and   kaleidoscopic   Eels








where  Nature's  canopy  ( that  is,  the  surface  of  the  Ocean








as  viewed  by  this  species  of  octopus,








in  the  way  that  ancient  humans  viewed  the  Stars  in  the  Sky








as  the  Gateway  to  another  Realm,










as  an  ever  Changing  and  ever  Wonderful








Dance  of  magic  and  Light )










was  understood  and  thought  Thru,








that  is,  








the  single  Mind  of  this  Octopus  and  the  sacred  Plant,








joined  Together  in  a  cosmic  Merging,









felt  thru  the  physical  Barrier  of  the  World  of  Light









and  the  World  of  Darkness,









beyond  black  and  white









beyond  good  and  evil









into  a  Conceptualizing  of  the  Totality  of  all  Things 












a  Realization  of  the  mysterious  which  flickers








thru  every  Atom  of  space











a  Consciousness  of  the  Harmony  Inherent  in  all  Things











of  the   great  Unifying   Frequency








which  could  be  felt  and  heard  










thru  all  far  reaches  of  the  Universe   .   .   .
