Ideas are like stars; untouchable. But choose them as guides like a seafaring man on a desert of water follows them to destiny.

When you look at an object, you see one side of it at a time; the nature of vision. When you think about something, you think about it in one context at a time; the nature of thought.
Context determines what your mind thinks just as viewing-angle determines what your eye sees.
I choose to juggle this year and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard.
That goal will serve to organize and measure the best of my energies & skills. That challenge is one that I am willing to accept, one I am unwilling to postpone, one which I intend to win. -thank you John F. Kennedy
Brain activity in the pink matter (wet) comes up with a mental impulse that drives the hand to draw with pencil on paper (dry), transferring an idea into physical space. From there the graphic design, as in this example, gets uploaded into the AIR of cyberspace.
Fast and Slow is Daniel Kahneman‘s idea of thinking in terms of System One and System Two.
System One defines the fast, effortless, intuitive, almost impulsive type of thinking.
System Two describes a deliberate, slow-paced kind of thinking that involves the effort of concentration.
To Stop thinking requires training your mind to silence your thoughts. That higher level of control is achieved with deliberate, focused time & effort, through the practice of meditation.
Last night G stepped into a conversation between R and M. The problem that R was expressing to M was exactly the same problem G was experiencing.
It seemed R and G might commiserate to find the right solution for both of them. Any answers found would be to their mutual benefit.

Cells in embryos make their way across a steep “developmental landscape” to their eventual fate.
Embryonic cells continuously monitor their changing surroundings and make small corrective adjustments, optimizing as development proceeds, locking in on their planned identity relatively late.
Processing positional information makes genes variously switch on and off throughout the embryo, giving cells distinct identities based on their location. (Some cells unfortunately take the wrong paths and are unable to get back on track.)
All the information is there in the landscape and processing that information effectively may be the phenomenon that makes a bunch of loosely stuck-together atoms behave like the thing we call life.
Had I been like a man living in a wood from which he knows there is no exit, I could have lived; but I was like one lost in a wood who, horrified at having lost his way, rushes about wishing to find the road.”
