For those used to sticking their ears to the ground, the sign of the times manifests itself through the deep frequencies that emanate from the beaten earth. Under the mystical flashes spread throughout the totality of the ecosystems, the memory of the biomass speaks loudly, now, more than ever, while pulsating the radical transformation from within its interior. The desertifying agrologistical algorithm mobilizes the flags that fly at the forefront of deforestation, mining and decimations. The unique eye that bathes incessantly in the blood of the peoples, offering it to itself on the stones of the capital altar.
There is, however, the unstoppable acuity that nourishes the infinite forms of life. Something bigger than everything that was and will be. On the surface of all territories, the geometry of the animals’ footprints and the roots of the plants, and there, right in the middle: the infinite corpses, ranging from bone to viscous oil, which flows between the oldest rocks, always in infinite regeneration. The reverse stairway of all things. And then the magma, the nuclear force that burns until it breaks in our chests, which keeps within itself the mystery of everything. And in its inside out, as in the embrace of a non-orientable object, a new twist of perception. The whole again! The cosmic drama: on different scales, one living mind.
TIERRA MEMORIA
Para aqueles que já pregam seus ouvidos no solo, o sinal dos tempos se manifesta nas graves frequências que emanam da terra batida. Sob os clarões místicos que banham a totalidade dos ecossistemas, fala alto no chão a memória da biomassa, agora mais que nunca, pulsando em seu interior a radical transformação. O algoritmo agrologístico desertificador mobiliza as bandeiras que tremulam na vanguarda dos desmatamentos, da mineração, das dizimações. O olho único que banha-se incessante no sangue das gentes, ofertado-o a si mesmo nas pedras do altar capital.
Há no entanto o tino que alimenta, irrefreável, as infinitas formas de vida. Algo maior que tudo o que foi ontem e tudo o que virá depois. Na superfície de todos os territórios, a geometria das pegadas dos bichos e da raiz das plantas, e logo no meio os infinitos cadáveres, indo do osso ao óleo viscoso, que escorre por entre as rochas mais antigas, sempre em infinita regeneração. A escadaria regressa das coisas todas. E então o magma, a força nuclear que arde de dentro para fora até romper em nosso peitos, que guarda em si mesma o mistério de tudo. E em seu avesso, como num abraço de um objeto não-orientável, nova virada de percepção. O todo novamente! O drama cósmico: em diferentes escalas, uma só mente vivente.
