What is this?
What is this empty container that holds all life?
What is this time that is now?
What is this light that dawns on me?
What is this fire that warms me?
What is this air that fills my lungs
What is this plant that feeds me?
What is this love that heals me?
Who is this observer asking questions?

Take your heart where ever you go today.
Take your heart where ever you go today.
Even if it means to let go.
What's in your dragon today? If you do not bring forth what is within you, what is within you will destroy you. From the Gospel of St Thomas.

Zoey's Ever Changing Bubble of Now
Zoey knows that she is living in Time and Space. That is the way of our world after all. She can't help but wonder if maybe there is another world out there where she can feel better connected.

Marcel Duchamp
May 31rst
Marcel Duchamp pioneered a movement called Ready-Made Art. He declared that ideas were more interesting to him than visual products that were merely "beautiful."
What should art provide the maker and the viewer?
Meaning
Who is it for?
Anyone it speaks to.
Where does one encounter art?
In the place where from and the formless meet. Which means, at ever turn, where ever our senses take us.
What is the role of the artist?
To facilitate the discovery of meaning, even if after careful inspection the meaning gets lost.
Art that stirs up controversy has no meaning for me.
Art should help us leave the realm of time and place
where even our thoughts take a back seat.
Good Art takes us into a timeless spaceless dimension.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Quote of the day
"Someday, after mastering the winds, the
waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love,
and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have
discovered fire."

A Contribution to Statistics
Here's a great link that Becker brought to my attention
Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska (1923-2012) won the 1996 Nobel Prize for literature; I am
saddened by her death-- yesterday, February 1, at her home in Krakow. But one
cannot help but rejoice for her poems.
Szymborska did not shy from use of mathematical ideas. As in this sample:
A Contribution to
Statistics by Wislawa Szymborska
Out of every
hundred people
those who always
know better:
-- fifty-two,
doubting every step
-- nearly all the
rest,
glad to lend a hand
if it doesn't take
too long:
-- as high as
forty-nine,
always good,
because they can't
be otherwise:
-- four, well maybe
five,
able to admire
without envy
-- eighteen,
living in constant
fear
of someone or
something
-- seventy-seven.
capable of
happiness:
-- twenty-something
tops,
harmless singly,
savage in crowds
-- half at least,
cruel
when forced by
circumstances:
-- better not to
know,
even b allpark
figures,
wise after the fact
-- just a couple
more
than wise before
it,
taking only things
from life
-- forty
(I wish I were
wrong),
hunched in pain,
no flashlight in
the dark
-- eighty-three
sooner or later,
worthy of
compassion
-- ninety-nine.
mortal
-- a hundred out of
one hundred.
Thus far this
figure still remains unchanged.
