Joy of life and math?

By

Dabbling in joy

fever curious

I am so

forever young


but just now plotting

my lifeline x-axis

anticipating the positive intercept

knowing pain will sometimes overlap

the y-axis of joy and wonder.


the x-axis is fixed, the y-axis is not,

forever sits at said intercept on the x-line


the plot a mountain silhouette

stretched along the flat x-plane,

peaks were the second derivative is zero

and none is the number to come.

    Hmm - I am not unfamiliar with linear equations. I think this is a slow warming up to this metaphor. Fascinating. I'm enjoying the time mulling it over.

Sofa-Philo: Musing on Reincarnation's Knots with a Woman of Faith

By
Greetings, fellow sofa-philosophers! Today, we're venturing into the swirling mists of reincarnation, guided by a question from myself, a woman of faith not confined by organized religion, but embracing the eternal, believing the Divine and defined by relationship. Buckle up, for we're tackling thorny questions that may prick even the most seasoned thinkers. Firstly, the "one spirit or soul" puzzle. Some interpret it as a single, eternal entity cycling through lives, carrying experiences like baggage (or maybe souvenirs?), while others envision a pool of souls embarking on independent journeys. Both hold fascinating implications: the single soul whispers of shared pasts and intertwined destinies, while the individual soul speaks of unique paths and a boundless universe of consciousness. Then comes the elephant in the metaphysical living room: population explosion. If souls cycle, doesn't the human herd keep multiplying like bunnies on espresso? Some hypothesize in...

Dear Diary

By
 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.
