Thousand Petals

Mike Caulfield was the first to notice it: when a wiki has a thousand pages, it feels like it comes alive.

There is surprise and delight that becomes emergent in the pages, that which inspires new wonder.

We know this feeling, honing it by practices of the Haiku Wiki that intentionally cultivates beauty, beauty that unfolds new meaning, new beauty. The Markov Monkey has shown us this truth.

It's said that the lotus flower, opening in the crown chakra, has twenty layers of 50 pedals each, a thousand in all, where we become within the deep silence of the formless mystery beyond.

Where we wait, watching for surprise from which new meaning emerges in moments that begin to unfold the new as we walk into our next wonder.

As we courageously live into our fundamental human commission of Becoming Wise.
