I refer more to relation than beings.

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

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.

What is real is process.
Ernst Bloch
Thinking means venturing beyond.

The new always happens against the overwhelming odds 
of statistical laws and their probability...
