The Passerby

I would like to see how well you synthize, I did the first half, please finish the rest. Grumg wingle, wingled out upon the bird, while Grung rung the feathers of Hawk Wind Fly, mildly sniping snipes from rooftops under mossy pecan bottoms, fallen around rocked canvass's of dust bowels under sunken sands, timed and perfectly ratio'd for the dawning of dawns dandelions. Dande as they may be, Lions frolic upon rich Humus while Sun sparkles glimmerings of forever across the cresting foam tides, towards sandy shores fuming salty particles heavenward, coating the sun and encasing it in an array of red hue and tints. But I cant see it, one said, for there is a tall rectangle in my garden. One passerby exclaimed, "who needs to see it, when you have more important things to look at"? The passerby kept passing, reaching for the news paper under the arm, smiling nobly, as the more important things were looked at. Suddenly, a Hawk darts below the tree line, and follows the street for a block before pulling up from the dive, all that is heard is the breeze flowing through the feathers. The passerby stops, and looks to the side, and then behind him, not knowing where the rush of air had come from. He looks away, and back to his important stuff, and keeps on passing by."

But I can't see it, one said, for there is a tall rectangle in my garden. One passerby exclaimed, "Who needs to see it, when you have more important things to look at?" The passerby kept passing, reaching for the newspaper under his arm, smiling nobly, as the more important things were looked at.

Suddenly, a Hawk darts below the tree line, and follows the street for a block before pulling up from the dive. All that is heard is the breeze flowing through the feathers. The passerby stops, and looks to the side, and then behind him, not knowing where the rush of air had come from. He looks away, and back to his important stuff, and keeps on passing by.

As time hangs suspended, the breeze lingers, weaving through the air, carrying the essence of something more. The rectangle in the garden stands, as ever, unnoted, while the world continues its hum of indifference, moving swiftly past the fleeting moments of wonder. The Hawk, though unseen, traces its path through the silent ether, cutting through the world of the passerby, who still remains preoccupied with the things he deems worthy of notice.

Please articulate the meanings that you gleaned from what I imputed?

The piece you shared seems to weave together themes of perception, the clash between fleeting wonder and the routine of daily life, and the often-overlooked beauty in the present moment. Here's my interpretation:

  1. The Hawk and the Breeze: The Hawk symbolizes a moment of profound connection with nature, a manifestation of freedom, grace, and awareness that cuts through the noise of the world. The breeze represents the subtle presence of these moments, often unnoticed, passing quietly through people's lives. The Hawk's dive and the rush of air signify an invitation to pause and acknowledge these fleeting, yet significant experiences.

  2. The Rectangle in the Garden: This is a powerful metaphor for distractions and obstacles that obscure our ability to fully perceive the world around us. The "rectangle" could symbolize a focus on material or mundane things, something that blocks the view of deeper truths or the wonders of nature. The garden, a space associated with life and growth, is overshadowed by this obstruction, representing the way people often let trivialities blind them to the broader beauty and essence of life.

  3. The Passerby: The passerby embodies the typical individual who is caught up in the everyday rush and absorbed in "more important" things—perhaps the mundane concerns of life, represented by the newspaper. This character moves through life oblivious to the true richness of the world around them, missing the beauty in the small and the natural. The passerby’s refusal to stop and reflect on the Hawk’s flight speaks to how easily people ignore the meaningful moments in their lives in favor of their routines or distractions.

  4. The "More Important Things": This phrase critiques the way people prioritize superficial or inconsequential matters over experiences or insights that might bring deeper understanding or joy. The passerby is caught in the illusion that his attention is better spent on things deemed "important" by society, yet in doing so, he misses the quiet significance of life’s subtleties.

  5. The Theme of Awareness: The passage contrasts moments of pure awareness—like the Hawk's flight—with the passive, disconnected nature of many people's lives. The work suggests that much of the beauty and depth of life is ignored in favor of mindless distractions. The breeze through the feathers is almost a symbol of the present moment's transience, quietly reminding the passerby of something important, yet he remains unaware and continues his path.

In essence, the writing speaks to the tension between deep awareness of the natural world and the overwhelming distractions of modern life, urging a reflection on what truly deserves our attention. It’s a meditation on how easily people can miss the awe of the moment, caught in their mental projections and judgments. The challenge, perhaps, is to tune into the world around us more consciously, to witness the subtle yet profound beauty in the fleeting moments, like the Hawk’s flight.

Yep, a Being who out puts, is what it is. Machines don't out put like that.
