the center

the center is focus. it is confrontation. the gravity of this point is authority. nature, on the other hand, is wild and center-less as a whole and in general. there is always tension. there are points of concentration in nature, though -- suns, black holes, etc. there are currents; patterns. a germinating seed. a flower. an explosion. a beating heart. a still heart. what if the center is part heart, part flower and part spider? sort of like in the movie, the fly. recognizability offers some degree of comfort. it also suggests control. what about unidentifiable things? my inability to know whether i should feel scared or relieved or elated, etc. intrigues and unnerves me.
