Light

pierces

the

clouds

just

as

something

lovely

emerges

from

the

depths

The Emptiness

 

The moment you're willing

to give up everything

and become empty

the emptiness becomes filled with the universe

with all that is beautiful and good

Wait.

Be patient.

The storm will pass.

The spring will come.

For those who didn't understand yesterday's post

Every year I look up information about the number of the age I am becoming to see if I can find anything of interest.

The number 42 is, in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams, "The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything," which is calculated by an enormous supercomputer over a period of 7.5 million years. Unfortunately no one knows what the question is! Thus, to calculate the Ultimate Question, a special computer the size of a small planet using organic components is created and named "Earth."

The picture I posted yesterday is of a "magic cube," constructed in such way that every row, column, corridor, and diagonal passing through the center has numbers whose sum is 42. I don't know who came up with it but I thought it was cool.

Another interesing thing about 42: In 1966, mathematician Paul Cooper theorized that the fastest, most efficient way to travel across continents would be to bore a straight hollow tube directly through the Earth, connecting a set of antipodes, remove the air from the tube and fall through! The first half of the journey consists of free-fall acceleration, while the second half consists of an exactly equal deceleration. The time for such a journey works out to be 42 minutes.

Have a great day, all ;)

Space

Space isn't remote at all. It's only an hour's drive away if your car could go straight upwards.

Create As You Wish

 

Integrity has no need of rules.

 

~ Albert Camus

The Gold Within

 

The fatal flaw

is to stop believing

 in yourself,

to doubt your dream,

to forget

the gold within.

 

Don't.
 

Twenty years from now

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

~ Mark Twain

Relinquishing Belief

I do not believe that suffering is the necessary and inevitable condition of human beings here on earth. I do not believe that the essence of life is misery.

Resignation to uncontested suffering is merely passivity, a failure to take responsibility for one's own existence.

To take responsibility for our existence, we need to relinquish the belief that frustration and defeat are our natural and inevitable fate. That belief which is sometimes upheld as an expression of higher sophistication or wisdom, is in fact a default on the very challenge of being alive, of being conscious, of being human.

~ Nathaniel Branden, The Psychology of Romantic Love

The Cool Before The Warm

This is my favorite happy song. There is some tremendous musicianship here, particularly from the drummer, whose blazing snare patterns sound really fun to play. Great bass line, good melody, cool lyrics, and a nice horn section to complement a very well crafted song. Thank you, Style Council.

Enjoy!

The Price

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
