What to think about...
By wueone
The existential view holds that people are endlessly remaking or discovering themselves. There is no essence of human nature to be discovered "once and for all." There are always new horizons, new problems and new opportunities. --Gestalt

Peter's World Atlas
By wueone
I have recently attended the Boston Public Library's "Journeys and The Imagination" exhibit and have found a gem, Peter's World Atlas. Starting from the beginning is a citation to the atlas used to delineate population projections on a mercator map of the world. It is an amazing work of genius that takes humanistic consideration of the world as it means to today's armchair travelers. I was amused by the BPL exhibit's maps from the beginning of exploration for all to see how humanity originally saw the world from vision to creation. It is a metamorphasis of concepts and knowlege to innovations and power. No one can leave unlearned, at least if you start from the beginning.

Fight the tedium
By wueone
Change is good, but little changes can be more meaningful. You may be slogging through another week and not know that the tiniest change in work method may revive you. All but a harvard study suggest pulling the old routine and replacing your mode of thinking as in Spencer Johnson's book "Who Moved My Cheese?" suggest using alternative modes to usual work life settings. Changing the order of low-priority tasks, taking a different route home and using a different blend of wake up beverage all solve the tedious routines of the workday. Studies show that the mind is refreshed by seeing new ways and being open to a few changes in the regular work setting. This does not mean writing off the meeting schedule or blowing off people you need to keep in the daily loop or should we say grind? Whoops, watch out. Conclusions show that the bad attitudes go away for a little while, reduced stress will ultimately help you survive the winter blues!

Is it a stream or an avalanche?
By wueone
Streams of consciousness or dreams end up saving us in a times of trouble with no time to spare. You may want to pay attention to events around you if you are tossing and turning in your sleep. I would pay close attention especially if you are up late at night over the same thing. Zolar's dictionary of dreams states that you should react with split second timing to threatning situation if you have no control over your driving in your dreams. Take a minute to reflect in the car where snow and ice come between your car and the traffic. A regular car may slide through a patch of ice, but the car I drive will just cruise in a dream. This is just a dream. I have not even checked the tires. I know it is cruising by feeling the steering wheel. There is no loss of contact with the road. This is not a very realistic sign because it is a dream. The car never stops. It just keeps cruising through traffic with no accidents and no tickets. This is one example of overlooked judgements.
I have rescued two tiger and calico mix cats, Anna and Missy, who love to explore the house and call themselves to a game of rollerball against the four walls of our double-wide ranch. They are a two-some! Today's excitement was at the television. They have found that the BBC is the thing and that basketball is not the thing.
