alicia keys is telling and convincing me to take my time.
that was in 2003 and in 6 years later it's reminding me a lesson I thought I'd learned.
Not to get ahead of myself because what's coming is going to be enough that I don't need to charge into it. Life is already a blink. I want to see as much as I can in that one glimpse. The human eye can pick up a lot of information in a second. I wonder what the upload rate of an iris is(I am sure someone somewhere has thought that). I think I read something that a computer capable of operating at the speed of a human brain is in the works. We're flying. Light speed? We already send youtube and netflix via fiber optic cables, what's to stop us from trying to send something physical? Oh, we'd have to figured out how to destroy something before we can learn how to put it back together. I guess that's how it works?
I'm reading a book about mathematics that follows the path of philosophy, astronomy and mathematics throughout history from Greco-Roman, to the middle/dark ages, to the middle eastern arabic world and finally back to renaissance europe. I was thinking reading it that I never understood trigonometry much in school but then again I never took an astronomy class - which is what trigonometry was invented for by the greeks. I work in the film business and as I was taught and tell people - rule #1 is "See the big picture". I was learning trig equations with no idea of their practical use. IF only the teacher had on the first day read my the story of a greek philosopher who was trying to figure out the sky. Then I would've gotten it.
But such is life, a lesson learned every day, something you thought you'd never get came crystal clear. I'm still learning. Life is all around me and I'm doing my best to see it all.
Peace
take your time
