my baby says (we dont have time to take the fast route)

in our first trip together my baby and i both decided to avoid the highways we told siri that (and it has made all the difference) in fact we decided that the only thing highways are good for is if you only care about getting from point a to point b all other travelers should avoid them and that includes us !! =) ...

doing something you value versus doing something others value

imagine two worlds world 1 you do things because you feel theyre valuable you spend your life doing things that matter to you world 2 you do things that others feel are valuable (because they give you an imaginary number in return) you spend that number making others do things that you feel are valuable you spend your whole life doing things that dont matter to you—and making others do things for you that dont matter to them some people accumulate (in tall stacks) the imaginary number and...

dont follow your aesthetics in order to reach something aesthetic—follow your process

lets say your goal is to find something pretty you have to have a method for doing this it might be your willy-nilly method it might be that you look out the window as you drive it might be that you feel whats pretty and intuitively move toward prettier things one thing that happens with aesthetic-heavy methods for finding aesthetically pleasing things—is that you can get stuck in wells of uselessness where your method cant find the unexpected things you want to find this is when its usefu...

to see the world like a photograph—like how we read the news

my mate and i settled on doing this a while back as we see the world—our world—my mates childrens and grandchildrens worlds to not develop opinions or judgments at all but to see the world like a photograph—or to see the world like the news is supposed to see (just the facts) to perceive it and not judge it i find a contrast between writing and photography this way writing can be perceiving and not judging (it can be somewhat like a photograph) but i find the selection of points of view i...

before an earthquake animals run around more than usual—maybe theyre excited—maybe theyre scared—but somehow these animals know that an earthquake is going to happen before it happens can they predict the future ?? probably not theyre just extra sensitive and can feel the rumblings (or signs) of the earthquake before it happens they can in a sense feel it before it happens but of course theyre really only sensing the earthquake before we do those animals scurrying are an early warning of t...
