I write books because I have questions.

Detox regularly,

off ideas, people, drugs and food,
and reach and deepen your ground.

Translate, invert and rotate before decision.

Infinity infects the finite.

Hacking into computers is fun,

hacking into human minds is even better,
but nothing beats hacking into the universe.

Mathematics is tricky ways of doing something which would be laborious otherwise.

(Feynman)

Objects and animals slow down as they get bigger.

Notes and phrases get less frequent as they lower tone.

at least in the worthiness of living.

All are related.

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin....All my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer....

To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.

To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.

To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.

To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.

To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.

To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages, I thank you.

To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.

You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.

Thank you for this Life.

(a traditional Lakota Sioux prayer)

Nothing means anything without everything.

The immune system is adaptive like intelligence;

The former (de)codes changing pathogens,
the latter (de)codes changing expressions.

Top-down hierarchies need secrecy to succeed.

They are in trouble in the age of the Internet.

Infinity is a big topic.

I don’t think it’s gonna be understood fully in any finite period of time. We have a hint of just how rich that realm is, but we haven’t understood the smallest fraction of it. And this of course is because by its very nature the subject of infinity is a vast and infinite subject.

(W.Hugh Woodin)

The existential paradox is resolved by separating birth from death.
