I refer more to relation than beings.
Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge
Art does not reproduce the visible; rather, it makes visible.
- Paul Klee
Being is not the straight line a photon travels, but fractal, 
like the edge of a borealis. 

Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge
You can rise to a level of not knowing that’s untouched by entropy. 
Out of uncertainty, openness: order is maintained.

Mei-Mei Berssenbrugge
We now find ourselves in a world where we understand how everything works
but we know the meaning of nothing.

- John Lennox quotes Iain McGilchristThe Diary of a CEO (June 2026)
I think I must be somewhere else, not here,
not in this city, this heartland of pure noise.

- Ai
in the silence so complete
- ai
my mind empty
like the Buddhists tell you is possible
if only you don’t try.
If only I could
turn myself into a bird
like the shaman I was meant to be,
but I can’t,
I’m earthbound
and solitude is my companion,
the only one you can count on.
Don’t, don’t try to tell me otherwise.
I’ve had it all and lost it

Ai
AR

o amanhã
nunca falta

quem falta
sou eu
Remember Dorothy and the Yellow Brick Road?
There’s no pot of gold at the end,
but we keep walking that road
- Ai

I've discovered over the decades that humans are incredibly short-term oriented. And that they have an enormous predisposition to optimism. They're looking for optimistic news in everything. They're looking to avoid unpleasantness.
- Jeremy Grantham, The Diary of a CEO (30 June 2026)
A relation of cruel optimism exists when something 
you desire is actually an obstacle to your flourishing.
