The Infinity Temple

Things seen by the sky and understood by our feet

The Infinity Temple is ever evolving. It has shape shifted from a dragonfly in 2013 to a spider with web in 2019. The final form, built one shape at a time, only became visible when my nephew flew over on a training flight and took a picture. The orientation is aligned with the Winter solstice sunrise in the east, and the Summer solstice sunset in the west. A labyrinth articulates the feminine aspect of a masculine space with its curvilinear form balanced with a triune (tetrahedron) division in the east wing. In the west wing, three circles intersect a pyramid form, and the lodge at the center has 8 ribs, all standing upon a single curvaceous 9th post in the north east. Two posts for each east/west gate, two more in the north and three in the south. Each of these individual forms combine to balance the spectrum of masculine and feminine energies in a layered Russian nested doll fashion.

As this temple shifts and changes, old forms slowly dissolve as memory printed in plants. Walking the oscillations of this form helps embody the lemniscate, the spiral and the labyrinth. The lemniscate (infinity sine) with it’s recursive pattern returns always to the center, no matter where one start and is the most complete two-dimensional representation of how the universe is built. The mind can have difficulty understanding complex structure of the universe and our existence, but the body knows and tracks it with ease.
