Alright, I startled a few folks by mentioning these enigmatic little dodads on a different blogger of mine, so I will expound a bit further for my own good here.
What are crop circles?
Dunno. Astounding, dramatic, incredibly large images made by pressing down various crops without killing them. They happen in what might be seconds, at the very least has been proven to be minutes, and they contain blatant changes to the immediate area that can be detected by current scientific method. They are also mathematically perfect.
Who is making them?
Well, aside from the few feeble attempts by humans, easily discernible from the real thing, often just by looking at them, dunno.
What do they mean?
Dunno. But they are really familiar. There are times when I look at the patterns and some small thing in the back of my mind says, "I know that thing."
Why am I obsessed.
I think the complexity of the drawings, which has been increasing every year, is part of what holds my attention. Go flip through a book called Secrets in the Fields. Those pictures alone will tell you that something of intelligence is behind these things. I was fascinated by the mathematics section, especially when they proved a direct link to music. It just made sense to me, again, for reasons I cannot explain.
Someone or thing is talking to us. what is being said is still a little beyond us, no matter what some of the new age-ish folk online would have you believe. We apparently are going to have to grow into the understanding, but I am certain that eventually it will start to make sense. And maybe it is just a bunch of hyperactive teenagers from some other dimension playing a foolie on the lowly humans. I will be ticked off if that is the case, but I don't think it is.
