You are welcome to sit by the fire, its flames dance in the rhythm that aches for freedom inside us, and the rumble of the consuming fuel echoes the debt of time that strikes at us in unrelenting syncopation. You are welcome to sit by the fire, I am telling myself a story. It is not my story. Here it begins. When you wake up in the morning, you are you, and there is no doubt. When you lay down to...
Editorial notes: This post was found in ‘Draft’ mode in the original blog and may be incomplete. It is published here in its original state. It was last updated on 14/10/2014 I seek to redefine the meaning of words and objects, to enrich them with knowledge of the cosmos they contain. To see the world in a grain of sand – which are its continents and the animals and...
When I look at the moon I think of you. You know that feeling – falling through the stars? Sitting in the park (the vacuum of the cricket field, the silence seeps from cedar benches bereft of players) or along the beach (I hope you’re there now, the ocean’s lapping is like a heartbeat and it follows us into sleep, through dreams), gazing upwards (the land becomes lost, and...
As I write this line I am already aware that I have produced a few strategies below. Index: Strategy: Day Plans Strategy: A Week in a Day Strategy: Thinking About It Strategy: Planning for Castles in the Air Strategy: Day Plans Here’s an idea: Establish a ritual upon starting the day for delineating some plans for tasks to be conducted (i.e. during that same day). I envision these day plans...
Here are some things that I wrote. Project “Project” [Here I am describing an intention to focus activities by categories defined as projects]. A project can be anything and there can be any number, but practical considerations will double as reasonable constraints in both those instances. A study of a range is not necessary at the moment since I am interested in those projects...
Contents: Dear Diary (#Life) We Interrupt (#McCarthyQuote) What’s New (#Scaruffi) Meta (aka “In yesterday’s iinstalmentof Shai’s rambling linguistics”): Yesterday I finished off writing a little bit (just a tad, really) about my ongoing note taking relating to Scaruffi’s book. I’d also written about one of (many) films I had watched yesterday, namely the...
TheMeaningOfLife.org is an essay made up of 44 points that describe the human experience from birth to death. This is a subset of a category that can be described as, “A number of lessons,” that often include advice on living (amongst the various modes of living) and explanations that make it easier to understand and thus coexist with life’s experiences. MeaningOfLife.tv can be...
Things I’ve done today include reading Scaruffi, I made a little progress in chapter 2 but soon became bogged down in details and paradigms that I must admit were a challenge. Not beyond comprehension, but requiring a slow studious read that inevitably results in a loss of perspective as regards the bigger picture, even if it does strongly assist an understanding of the content on a smaller...
On these days, I ask myself what I’ve learned, and often that prompts me to write. Sometimes it’s lessons. Lessons like, “Don’t think (often) about what other people are thinking,” I believe such lessons help me grow. Growth means clarity of experience, a loosening of bonds, and a dispersal of questionable cargo. As I expand, I want to incorporate into my reality a...
Meta: Idea: Have a list of contents at the top of each date. Each listing to be the text of a heading, or if not then at least some form of anchoring as repeated in the body. I follow now with an exemplar instance of this idea: NOTES on my reading of KANT’s Prolegomena. Dear DIARY. SCIENCE or JOURNAL CLUB on studying NEURONAL COMPLEXITY. Meta: The (mere) fact that I have more to write about...
