Why is my blog called carbonated?
I actually named it carbonated without extensive knowledge on what the process of carbonation is, and also not knowing it's exact parallels to thermodynamics or systems in general. I only knew that while water is carbonated, it has energy in it, fizzing all about. Random but not random interactions within.. being played out.
I liked the idea that the more you shake, the more energy it releases, but also the quicker that energy is spent. I looked at life and saw that there are some people who lived life at a rapid pace filled with experiences who were always busy with fun. And there there are people who rust away.. people who may live longer (but what does that matter really anyways) constantly consoling themselves to feel better. They need to feel better because they are not really doing what they want to be doing.
After I exhausted the carbonated drinks or their carbonation, they went flat. Bubbles would arise every now and again, but they were definitely not the same. And that's okay. (Honestly the carbonation made it hard for me to drink as smoothly as non carbonated drinks.)
It's okay because... why wouldn't it be. I would find a new drink that had all that unlocked energy. And later on I would find out that there are kits to re carbonate your drinks. Carbonation is done to something not carbonated (obviously) so therefore the statuses of carbonated and flat is a forever interchanging dance.
CARBONATED
The Universe Goes Flat When We Say So
Carbonated because our universe is simply an infinitely more complex, extravagant, exaggeration of this this concept. The bubbles have much much more variety, properties, freedom.. and the resonance that comes from being an active observer and participate of it all. Conscious carbonation.
Bubbles that can join, separate, rejoin. Rocks, trees, animals, sound, light, energy...
We are multi-dimensional creatures, and so are also the bubbles which metaphorically represent us in this post.
When We Say So
Because, the most important property of human bubbles is choice. We are conscious, we can learn, ignore, change ,whither, transform, self-modify etc. And so the status of the whole, carbonated or flat, is left up to each individual human being. Because the whole is a reflection of each of its parts.
Conscious carbonation happens from within. Imagine a drink of water spontaneously fizzing, because it decided to, because it could, because it is one with itself and thought it would be fun.
And when it goes flat... we shouldn't fight it like it is something to be avoided or dreaded. We will embrace it knowing it's the other side, the other half. And then we will know we are both and that we can do it again if we choose. Life and Death.
CARBONATED
The Universe Goes Flat When We Say So
And When It Does We Will Rest For A While
Waiting To Fizz Again Knowing It Will Be Better
This Time Than The Last, Learning From The Past
When At Rest, We Reflect And Grow
The Next Time We Fizz, Let's Do Something Different
Let's Make Balls, Bubbles, Planets
Where Other Bubbles Can Learn To Fizz
Next Time Let's Make It Fun
The Bubbles Can Create And Pop
The Bubbles Can Learn To Kiss
The Bubbles Are Free To Do As They Wish
The Universe Goes Flat Every Know And Again
But In Between It's Horny And Exotic As Hell
