The questions of existential nature

can be the ultimate, but often ignored
since being is forgetting
the non-being

Rhythm is temporal harmony

harmony is spatial rhythm

Long repeated things get compacted

and hidden from normal attention
and become habits

being is the longest habit

Just a line segment

that's all we get from life

Balance survives

imbalance evolves

The earth is a flower

we are the spores

Proof makes a genius

from a crackpot

When emotion is lost to intelligence

being collapses

When you are alone

you are in God's presence

When simplicity meets complexity

beauty is born

When why doesn't

why not does

Life is a dream

you can only wake up from
by going to sleep

Beware of the act of the victim

since at the other side
may lurk the victimizer
desperate for expression

What is beautiful,

without the ugly?
and what are both,
without the fuzzy?

It is heavenly when you are clean,

and then you go dirty.

The scientist does not study nature because it is useful;

he studies it because he delights in it,
and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
If nature were not beautiful,
it would not be worth knowing,
and if nature were not worth knowing,
life would not be worth living.

(Jules Henri Poincare)

Thought is before action

slow is before fast
delicate is before strong
less is before more

Nature abhors gradients?

it also loves them
it first builds
and then rides them

(A reply to the theme of the book Into The Cool by Schneider and Sagan)

I don't mind being a whore

I just don't want to be a cheap whore

(Cory Doctorow)

The force

Luke: Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
