Connection to Place: In Time and Space (A Poem)

The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.
– Albert Einstein

What does that mean for the spaces we occupy, the places we visit time and time again?

One's connection to place is ever evolving, as is the place itself, 
in time and in space.
Rearranging. Exchanging, changing, ranging from your past to its future
 And anew It that its future's to be, your past
 Past "your" to I, & I move forward
 In the place, the space,
The time, the rhyme,

 The connection intersection
Selection interjection
Forward toward your One's Will
Still, as you revisit may be one will
Feel still connected, inner record
Being written anew, sew-n together (hopefully for the better)
Finding history alit א (alif) to me and you as we do, evolve together,
In the place, the space
The time, the rhyme

Revolving We, One with All the [] setter:
Mind

Less, but Better

Inspired by https://www.wired.com/story/dieter-rams-documentary-gary-hustwit/

Less, but Better applies not only to design but also to behavior.

Do less, do it better. What kind of better? What kind of less?

Better in terms of doing, primarily not related to what one is doing but the act of doing itself. Do you do it with your whole self? Are you engaged in an act with body, emotion, and mind? Often we eat only with our body, read and listen only with our emotion, reason only with our mind; the lack of wholesome engagement of all our primal components can be a source of devastating dissonance over time. Do it better.

“If I do less, I’m left with more gaps, more empty space to fill.” Is that so? What if what one does is done better? And in doing better, time is filled in a different way. There are more moments to sieze. The dross of daily drudgery is shed to reveal the essential, whether that essential be simple or monumental. How many moments do you experience in a day? 24? 1,440? 86,400? 1.6×1048? What if you do it better?

You can have anything, but you can’t have everything.

Do less, do it better.

Tuning the Antenna

“There is a common misconception that the good things in life come from being in the right

place at the right time. In truth, everything that is good comes from being on the right channel with the right reception.

This is what the sages call z’chut—sometimes translated as “merit.” What it really means is a kind of fine-tuning of the soul.

How do you fine-tune the soul? You have three knobs: What you do, what you say and what you think. Adjust them carefully for static-clean reception.”

With that, and the following observations at my station, I took a step back from Facebook, though I do appreciate some of its services as human networks are indeed wondrous! Wondrous in a way as to remind me of a quote dubiously said to be spoken by a king, “My magician’s have their heads in the highest heavens and their feet in the lowest hells!”
