Resonance - Ian Roberts

Beauty, at least in my experience, has much to do with resonance. A connection that exists between ourselves and something else; a fit. I look at resonance in this video from two experiences - one resonant but superficial and the other deep and radiant.

I have had this feeling of connection with my natural surroundings. I was up in the Sierras doing Botanical research on ALPINE MEADOWS ABOVE 10,00 feet back in 1978. We had hiked in to the high Sierra region of Sequoia. Our first settled night. As the sun went down, to the east was a long downhill slope towards the kern river. There were tall granite walls to t her north and south. With this glorious Aspen glow alighting this 590 foot long meadows which was one of our research meadows. I’ve was on top of a big rock watching the sun go down. Smoking the last of my cigarettes for three months. I was a bit stoned too. But I could feel it. All of the plants were shooting down. The meadows was saying goodbye to the sun. It was June 20th. Close to if not the longest day of the year. And you could fuel Sl off nature singing a lullaby. Good night. Every blade. Every alpine plant was leaning in to that sunset. I felt blessed and connected. Resonance?

Thank you so much. It shifts my perception of beauty and it’s really meaningful❤️. When I see someone that is simple and elegant that’s what beauty really looks like.

Looks like you stopped posting from this channel, but I would love to hear you talk about the Sublime :) Maybe one day

What a beautiful video! For me, the missing piece is God. He is both the source of beauty and meaning. He created all that is good, and He is the reason that there is "resonance" in the sense you speak of it.

[@somethingsomething2907]

[@paintlady2268]

@@somethingsomething2907 No, I intended to convey exactly what I said.

[@somethingsomething2907]

Yeah hit me with that idiom one more time, you own this language, Paint Lady! It's yours!

[@somethingsomething2907]

All hail Paint Lady, owner of her language!

You may enjoy Dr. Iain McGilchrist's book ' The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World'. He speaks of how the left hemisphere 'analytical focused' thinking has taken over and prevents us from using our right hemisphere 'perceptual intuitive' thinking which we use to appreciate beauty. Much more to it than this but absolutely fascinating and right in line with your thinking.

Brilliant. Absolutely BRILLIANT.

That happened to me when as a child I wanted to hunt an owl that I always saw very beautiful posing in the field but at the moment of hunting it that beauty died and with the tears of my desire I learned a life lesson. 🤧😅😢😔🙇😇
