Too weird but lovely.

Fireflies dance against the evening sky... did you get a chance to see DOFP tour? I thought as the show went onward, it was like that, this series of images that just became more and more lovely.... Tuesday Afternoon and Sunset were just pure visual poetry.

Here you go, some wonder-full words from a master word bird... about an eclipse.

t=10s

I tend to agree.... I was musing that it's doggone coincidental that the moon is EXACTLY the right size to cover the sun like that, and allow such a spectacular light show with an eclipse. Sherlock Holmes (aka Sir Arthur Conan Doyle) used to say "there is no such thing as coincidence"

Pattern recognition is what it's all about in cognitive psych. Where you have to be careful is seeing patterns that no one else sees... because the mind WILL create patterns and order to suit the situation... even when it's just random stimulus. A stream of consciousness will eventually resolve into a pattern if contemplated enough.

Ponder too that we are but machines made up of interacting chemicals. If we are machines with such carefully thought out mechanisms, who the heck made the machines, and for what purpose? I look for patterns, but even more than that, I look for motivations.

Eh I'll stick to Winken, Blinken and Nod. but it's a nice poem anyway. "Wink at the moon, and think of me!" == Neil Armstrong

Speaking of which.... you have not lived until you read "The Owl and the Pussycat" (one of my favorite kid's poems, Edward Lear) to a classroom of Kindergartners, and had a couple of boys in the back row snicker. Honestly, what are people exposing their children to, today?? I neatly change it to "The Owl and the Kitty Cat"

BTW thanks for being a non-toxic pal. I needed a break, I did nothing but sort out my parents old genealogy notes today and my eyes are crossing.

It's magic... here's a little "flow of consciousness" thang for you. Whoever did that commercial was a freaking genius!

Chuckle my family seems ok that way. Was just at a family "do" the patriarch is a he-man sorta guy (sports figure) took all four little boy cousins and one girl out on a bike ride... .came back with skinned knees, elbows and battle wounds. Bless 'em our bunch gets both outdoor sports, and video games.

Yes it's a real problem. Most of them still have it, that zest for the out doors, around the PacNW anyway.

Today I ride in my pretty blue car
I really need to pick plums too
The dishes are crying alone in the sink
There's really too much to do!

I remember when we were young and would laugh the next day in the office about falling on the snow when we were out jogging.

I would not have linked Spotify with creation in a million years. However, I do find my mind focuses better with Moodies/Justin in the background. Here's a song that mentions creation and the abuse thereof:

I don't get this, either. I've never played bridge. All I understand anymore is happy music. I'm toast.
