Space exploration, unique sets of expression, song writing, balance, gravity, Wonder Woman messages, Wendell Berry inspiration, identity, and more!

You know what's amazing? We've overcome or worked with our environment as a species to do things that other animals have never done. We didn't just look at the moon, we walked on it. We don't just say, "I have legs, I shouldn't fly." We look at other animals that can fly and say, "Let's figure that out!" Making wings, in a way that was only possible by understanding how flying could work for us. It's incredible. What we've done, and what we still might be able to do.

Why is it so satisfying to create unique sets of patterns of expression? A set of patterns that no one has created before. I also find it interesting that we can create these unique patterns of words or images, but the words or shapes we use to create with are, in isolation, so simple and familiar, so common. But every English teacher in the world will tell you to make it your own. And in part, you know it's not your own, not fully, but that unique set of patterns, that's what they want. 

I really enjoy writing songs, even if no one else hears them. There's something fun about driving home and listening to songs you wrote that no one else in the world is listening to, something fun and personal and perfect about it. Songs that make me laugh, that make me feel peace, tell or remember memories, or just express what's on my mind that day. And in an age where everything is shared, it's beautiful, in a way, to have something like that to yourself (even if I'm telling you, briefly, about it now).

We live individual lives. We experience individual existence. And yet we are part of something much bigger than that. Both are important, and struggle comes from deciding at which points in our lives which one is more important.

When you're so tired that you almost throw an entire coffee pot into the trash... #HappyFriday

Is gravity the reason for life? Putting things in one place. Collision of celestial bodies. Is it essential for life creation?

The important balance between preservation and exploration in the future. Not only on Earth, but in Space as well.

Wonder Woman messages: What you believe affects your actions. If you believe in love and its power over hate, you will fight against acts of violence that destroy peace and the ability to love.
Important to note that: 
Isolated and personal measures were taken to combat violence. 
She did not kill Doctor Poison, because she was trying to kill the INFLUENCE of humans (Aries), not the humans themselves, who can change based on influence. Although personifying influence essentially leads to the truth that influence has a carrier. Every virus needs a host.

"Sometimes you just have to
Go Einstein insane.
Let no one understand you,
And let them spend decades,
Trying to sort out your genius."

What does it mean for something to be infinite?

"The past, the wild horses of the West, run in my mind as I drive with the windows down, looking out, at the ages gone beneath the concrete, the asphalt desert on top of the cracked earth where men rode animals looking for water. I open the tap, or buy a bottle, with visions of them reaching a stream to find it dry." - inspired by Wendell Berry

How our perspective and level of attention changes over time.

Focus in storytelling.

One thing we learn in school is that school is merely only one environment to many environments that exist in the world.

What creates an atmosphere that allows people to question things?

Religion and identity. Politics and identity. The problem of delineation in creating identity and a non-fluid mindset in a changing world.

I lost the rest of what's in my brain, so...

Cheers dears.
