Chapter 10 of Jim Nollman's book. By Evan Hynes (06/08/10 02:55:33)
Chapter ten of jim Nollman's book covers the topic of "oneness". He talks about Gaia, who in greek mythology represents all of earth, perhaps the original "mother earth" figure. Her story tells of how since she is the mother of all living things on this earth, then we are all intern related and have a connection. I could not agree more. Obviously Jim Nollman feels especially connected to this theory because he has been able to reach a connection to another species, despite obvious difference between him and the dolphins, the animals he connected with. He used music as a way to connect and collaborate with the dolphins, which I think is very poetic and artistic, even though many would view his actions as scientific. I find it hard to believe that so much cruelty is done to animals in this world when you consider the fact that without the animals around us, whether they be insects or dolphins, our world would not exist. I have enjoyed reading this book, and when I work on my final project, I will definitely have this idea of oneness in the back of my mind and be aware of the fact that we are all part of this world we live in.
