Atom is koan oath (oat)
Atom: basic unit of a chemical element or particle. What is made of atoms? ⚛️
A kōan (/ˈkoʊæn, -ɑːn/ KOH-a(h)n;[1] Japanese: 公案; Chinese: 公案; pinyin: gōng'àn [kʊ́ŋ ân]; Korean: 화두, romanized: hwadu; Vietnamese: công án) is a story, dialogue, question, or statement from the Chinese #Chan -lore, supplemented with commentaries, that is used in Zen practice to provoke the "great doubt" and initial insight of Zen-students.
* Prolonged koan-study is intended to shatter small-minded pride of, and identification with, this initial insight, and spurs further development of insight and #compassion, and integration thereof in daily life and character.
Oath: a vow Traditionally an oath (from Anglo-Saxon āþ, also called plight) is either a statement of fact or a promise taken by a sacrality as a sign of verity.
Or we can talk about oats & how they came to be propagated. The oat (Avena sativa), sometimes called the common oat, is a species of cereal grain grown for its seed.
It is believed to have originated in the Fertile Crescent. The Fertile #Crescent is believed to be the very first region where settled farming emerged as people started the process of clearance and modification of natural vegetation to grow newly domesticated plants as crops.
I’ve always been impressed how they used the annual Nile flooding & worked with it to maintain their livelihood.
Early human civilizations such as Sumer in Mesopotamia flourished as a result.
Technological advances in the region include the development of agriculture and the use of irrigation, of writing, the wheel, and glass, most emerging first in Mesopotamia.
Rearranging the letters in the name of #Satoshi #Nakamoto offers many other possibilities.
Combine it with my other #poetry to see more
