Total Recall

Well the last couple months have been blissfully busy, in a real good way. But now I am back to my pondering ways, sipping bitter.. bitter coffee and ponderrrrrrrrrr So I was thinking this ought to be some fantastic post, I wanted to write about tress and roots and stability and then got bored.

Meanwhile I chanced upon this book flatland through one surprisingly informative reader. I wont blabber about the book coz I have just read the preface and first few pages, but I will talk about the concept and couple of things that have always fascinated me.

So flatland was written in 1880 quite a book for its time, period, oppressive society and yet a refreshingly cool concept. It’s the story about a square who got dazzled when he met a cube. Now I have similar thoughts and have always had. Ever since studying about three dimensions in space, what always fascinated me was the fourth dimension, time.

The thought of their being multiple existences’, scenarios, realities is right out of a blockbuster film. The whole point of reference concept couldn’t we be equally naïve thinking time is flat one way street when it actually might be circular, elliptical or maybe even wicked. I admit I m a science fiction junkie, I read time machine when I was a kid and restaurant at the end of universe when I still behaved like a kid. I did not like planet of apes, original or rehashed.

So if time travel did exist how would it work. One thing is for certain it would require some massive amount of energy coz any change in past would have to result in substantial changes in future. How would our brains work with all the change, is memory retained or overwritten, how about complete existence, can there be only one of us at a time or multiple instances and I have tones of other questions.

Until anyone does make that leap, through a portal or shimmery stuff, or wishing well, I will just have to keep this ginormous questionnaire in my head from imploding.

Logic looming letting go..

Okay so I wanted to act smart and play on the L word up there, go ahead fire me.. To be a lot more lucent this post is about letting go, its directed towards a certain somebody who knows who it/he/she is provided that who is reading it. I promise it wont be as convoluted as this beginning, talking about convoluted my newest word of day is circumvent, I have been actively using it in lots of conversations. More on that later, oh yes and my aura is yellow btw, but I guess that rounds up my personality info for the month.

So back to letting go, and if I have talked about this earlier then pardon me, or blame it on aging gray cells. The only thing I learned in swimming after a lot of paid lessons was to float. And the basic premise of floating mostly is to let go. There are tones of examples with quick sand and what not. Gist being there are many times in life when it is essential to let go. The more you struggle; you either end up in the deep end or getting yourself in more muck than you started with.

As creatures of habit, we have a tendency to cling on to the usual, to the everyday, to our routines, to things and very rarely to people. Talk about one clingy breed, but talking about clingy I m definitely writing once on trees but more on that later. Its mostly for the sense of security it provides. There cannot be bigger mirage than sense of security, it’s never there but we are always seeking it.

There are some basic principles in life, like live, eat, breathe, some personal principles, sleep 8 hrs, be helpful, try not to stab people, but besides all that everything is variable and it should be. The moment we try to create constants in our environment either there is chaos, or stagnant environs ruts. So spring cleaning is essential, make that all year round, tossing out all that was most essential before but just does not work now, is not giving up, it just means you are letting go so that you can float again…..
