Gonna throw something out there... So, I've been thinking of a song lately, that song done by Jefferson Starship called "Miracles." It says:
"I know, love is the answer
Keeps holding this world together
Ain't nothing better
Ain't nothing better"

I have been singing, (chanting, praying) these words over and over to myself and as I say them I keep feeling so many different things like skepticism, sadness, comfort and so on.
Do these words have a universal meaning for you, a personal meaning, neither, or both? Are we all so old and wise that we think these words are just naivete? And if so, maybe that's kind of sad...

There once was a man called The Twelfth
Who sat all alone by himself
but he didn't minder
Cause his pal 49er
Got suddenly put on the shelf.

Well, not my best especially as I need some more dinner, but I'm very glad the Hawks won. I suppose I'm the only football fan on the board.

Maybe caring or "the Universal will to be" is what holds us together. Love if you will. In which case, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Universe should be our inspiration. Scares me, dunno about others............ sorry I'm a bit high right now! It was a busy Day!!!

I do know the story.......... so that was her name? Interesting. I don't think he ever finished the 9th, I could be wrong. I didn't know it was huge in comparison to the other stuff.

I was thinking of Felix Unger, then I thought of the iron skillet being handed through the door by his wife......... (ref the Odd Couple) I cook with an iron skillet. See, I would have come up with a totally different connection.

I love little bits of weird coincidence like that. Lets you know someone is watching

How fun! I'd love to get involved in dance or music with little ones. Some are quite good.... I've sat through some very good recitals at various elementary schools over the years. They work hard. I remember doing recitals when I was a youngster, learned a lot. Dance of course, I freeze up when called upon to play an instrument.

P.S. I accidentally clobbered her sister, Avery, when we were moving lumber several years ago. I didn't see her, hit her in the head, and knocked her over. Now, Avery is about 10 years old and smarter than just about any adult I know. Hmmmmmmm.

I'm simple.

Instruments set up percussive (acoustic) waves. Strings and other gadgets vibrate, pushing on the air molecules around them, causing them to push out, and then fall back, multiple times. Notes generally are not of pure frequencies, so they set up sort of a package of frequencies making up a timbre. When an instrument plays more than one note, you get multiple packages. If there is no vibration, there is nothing to make the air move and push on your ear drum in a way that causes you to sense the notes.

So, when you break the instrument, there will be a lot of harmonies, more than likely cacophonous, drifting into space more or less spherically symmetrically, until they damp out. Pick-up and disposal of the instrument will send out more vibrations. When the instrument reaches its resting place there will be no harmonies - until the pieces are disturbed.

Simple?

As for all vibrations, if you understand Mach's principle as I do, and nobody else seems to, then every vibration, though damped, leaves an indelible mark on the universe. Now how the atonement wipes out all the bad stuff is beyond my current pay grade.

I liked that question.

I've only erased two posts, and both were at your request. If my posts are evaporating, somebody is doing it for me.

I put on some music to work by today, found *Poetry in Motion* one of my faves, popped it on. Then I decided to read up on Sir John Betjamin.... he was an interesting cat. Didn't know he was into architecture. I think there's on Frank Lloyd Wright in England.... I must go there to see it someday.
