I’m restless. Things are calling me away. My hair is being pulled by the stars again.

Platonic Solids - The Geometries of Three Dimensional Reality. The Platonic Solids: the simplest Geometric Forms in 3D Space. There are only five of them. Plato associated the first four with our Elements , and the fifth, the most ineffable of all, signified the Heavens and the Luminiferous Aether. Plato associated each of the four Classical Elements (Earth, Air, Water, and Fire) with a Regular Solid. Earth was associated with the Cube, Air with the Octahedron, Water with the Icosahedron, and Fire with the Tetrahedron. There was intuitive justification for these associations: the heat of Fire feels sharp and stabbing (like little Tetrahedra). Air is made of the Octahedron; its minuscule components are so smooth that one can barely feel it. Water, the Icosahedron, flows out of one’s hand when picked up, as if it is made of tiny little balls. By contrast, a highly Nonspherical Solid, the Hexahedron (Cube) represents “Earth”. The Cube’s being the only Regular Solid that tesselates Euclidean Space was believed to cause the Solidity of the Earth. The fifth Platonic Solid, the Dodecahedron, Plato obscurely remarks, “…the God used for arranging the Constellations on the whole Heaven”. Aristotle added a fifth element, Aithêr (Aether in Latin, “Ether” in English) and postulated that the Heavens were made of this Element.

[The average human being] looks without seeing, listens without hearing, touches without feeling, eats without tasting, moves without physical awareness, inhales without awareness of odor or fragrance, and talks without thinking.

And I realize that no matter where I am, whether in a little room full of thought, or in this endless universe of stars and mountains, it’s all in my mind.
