The Leaf Meditation

An address by the Rev. Rob MacPherson - recorded on Sunday, 30th June, 2019 in the Unitarian Meeting House in Adelaide.
As a prelude to today's address, Rob's uses a meditation "Looking at a leaf" from the Play - Mnemonic, with the express permission of its writer, Simon McBurney of The UK-based Theatre Complicite. The music in the meditation is by local musician and composer, Stewart Day and is also used with his express permission.
Rob explains that the branching, dendritic pattern of the leaf, is referred to as the "Constructal Law" of Flow Systems and is repeated in its many forms throughout animate and inanimate nature and in the structure of the Universe. Rob then uses this leaf analogy and some simple mathematics to show the interrelatedness of all people and to expose the mythology of Race and its invention by racists.
