New words for the old friends

I like numbers. They exist in a place in our brains that is completely different than words. But for me it's the big ones that really dance. Knowing that your brain is three pounds of tangly mush says a bit, but knowing that in the mush are 100 billion neurons that make 100 trillion connections is the real magic. That is more intersections than there are stars in the galaxy, IN OUR HEADS. And these connections are constantly updating, reforming, refilling. Just the notion that you read this information has changed your head forever as well as the actual imprinting in your mush of the numbers themselves. Some of us will remember the numbers. Some of you will remember the idea.

And then throw in the poetic that for a moment here we are like chess pieces suddenly aware of ourselves, our choices and a game going on. AND to continue the metaphor, in a game of chess, in a little over forty moves there are more possible moves than there are atoms in the universe. Kind of makes one want to sit down. Maybe sip some tea. I guess I like numbers and brains. But mostly awareness. Thanks and enjoy your tea.

But wait, there's more. The Annual Art Hop is upon us which is even better than tea. Stop by on Friday, September 6th from 5 until 9 or Saturday the 7th from 10 until 4. Leave your email on an official scrap of paper and we will randomly select one out of the official hat to receive the panel 'Arc Light' free. No charge, just happiness.
