A New Way to Explain Explanation



By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy.
If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
- Socrates

The Lattice of Beauty


I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides,
I honor the place in you of love, of light, of truth, of peace.
I honor the place within you, where, if you are in that place in you
and I am in that place in me, there is only one of us.

- Ram Dass, translation of 'Namaste'

Things to see Things to hear

Things to touch Things to smell

Money, get away. Get a good job with more pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas. Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car. Caviar. Four star daydream. Think I'll buy me a football team.

Money, get back. I'm all right, Jack, keep your hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit, but don't give me that do-goody-good bullshit
I'm in the hi-fidelity first class travelling set and I think I need a Lear jet

Money, it's a crime. Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie.
Money, so they say, is the root of all evil today but if you ask for a rise it's no surprise that they're giving none away

I've Been...

-Planning to wander around the UK for next month. I've got more than 10 people to visit/hang out with/whose floor on which I shall sleep.

-Setting up my home recording studio. Finally.

-Trying to (get hired to) spend a month in Seoul and earn $5000+ with free airfare, meals and accomodations.

-Saving up for a 150 cc motorscooter.

-Deciding the best way to go about getting a Tebori sleeve.
(I can try to monetarily convince the best local Japanese artist Jiro that I'd be worth it and that it's not a waste of his time or fly to Japan to see Horitaka or a member of the Horitoshi family. Either decision will require the amassing of thousands of USD which I don't exactly have right now.)

-Realising that my life is my own, and that I can accomplish and experience anything I so desire. (I'm not talking about lavish living but I am talking about "living the dream". My dreams have been complex, kryptic, multi-faceted, detailed, lucid, obvious and obscure. I'm going to live a life of this.)



One hand says to the other, "I wish I could be you.
In return I'll teach to you all that I do."


"I've got to decline," the other replies,
"You've got your place, I've got mine.
I'm just not inclined to your backwards design."
