2022/3/16 #poetry When the time is right when the moon is high when cold clouds sweep across the sky we'll be ready to sneak away and we'll be long gone by the next day We won't take much just what we need so we may move with greatest speed It won't be hard to disappear even if they're looking far or near We'll make a new life just you see it'll be so nice when we are free
2022/3/15 #poetry Tempting and repelling solving a puzzle banging my head following instructions guessing and flailing expecting it to work and it doesn't expecting it to fail and it works running through the dark working out the kinks enjoying the successes worrying about the time draining away
2022/3/13 #poetry I managed to skip an important step and wow did it cost me some time. Being anything but meticulous should be considered a crime. I'm on the straight and narrow now but I still have work to do. My intentions for completing this job are finally coming true. Amazing and thrilling even when frustrated by a small mistake the task that I have chosen is a fun one to undertake. In just another moment I'll return to progress more. I'm really looking forward to the awesome things in store.
2022/3/12 #poetry We are lucky ? Yes, it is a question Because the purpose is unknown is it worthwhile just to be happy or do you need to grow is the true design connection or does understanding give all the rewards Will pain bring you toward consideration or is ease more beneficial for everything Could the way things are be exactly what everyone needs for their own way there making luck impossible
2022/3/11 If it's important it'll come back to you. That's what I was told. I'm not sure that it's true. Sometimes I just forget things and I don't think they come back. Does that mean they weren't important? I don't remember them so I can't say. It feels like they were important. Kind of a conundrum. Certainly some things that are forgotten are important. They do come back though. Unfortunately they come back because a consequence of forgetting them is encountered. I missed an event or I didn't eat something before it went bad even though I intended to. These aren't the types of things that I think were being referenced. Maybe I got it wrong though. I was upset because I couldn't remember my profound insight. I may have associated the feeling of that particular loss with the advice but only because that was what was happening to me. Maybe the advice is more general. Maybe it only rarely applies to the situation I associate it with. Whatever the facts are, seems that getting better about writing things down is the way to go.
2022/3/10 #poetry I looked at some other peoples poetry. I don't know what to say. It isn't for me, would be the polite way. Most are about things I have no comment on. Many are completely indecipherable. Some are way too long. That's the way with everything, some are to my taste and others not. Of course with poetry I've found that the good ones aren't as easily caught. It's grinding work, it takes time to make, poetry is hard, make no mistake. Rhyming, too, is complicated, as dialect and pronunciation can often cause breakage. Some authors are lazy or under time pressure, leaving in words that do not meet measure. My biggest complaint, really by far, is when the meaning doesn't show. Authors lay a trail of phrases referring to things that only they know. I wouldn't mind if I could tell before I read a line if I would have wanted to give those words my time.
2022/3/7 Because we associate electricity with it's effects, because it sometimes is responsible for generating light, most of us conceptualize it as a form of light. We think of it as flowing through wires like the animations and illustrations have shown, with little discrete balls of yellow-white particles lined up end to end like a chain. It really isn't anything like this. It doesn't correlate with any other phenomena that we are familiar with other than magnetism. We should imagine it more like the invisible force that it is if we want to get a better picture. It is hard though. Even the wind is conceptualized with visible imagery in the mind. In the real experience only the effects are visible, and even then only some. On the other hand, sometimes a false model is good enough, perhaps better if it allows us to think on something otherwise too complicated.
