Thanks Richard...that would be great...to receive your writings. I have
no idea what the course will be by the time it is finished but with so
many ideas to bring forward and the ideas the students will input, the
course should finish but not end...kinda spiral like.<br>
<br>
The image is great and takes me to images of Uroborus. Interesting also
how the image clearly shows what is outside the spiral is also the
spiral...a bit of shameless self promotion here...the first poem in my
book of poems, 'seven deer dancing' reads as follows:<br>
<br>
<b>oscillations</b><br>
<br>
you must sleep<br>
you must dream<br>
<br>
your dreaming<br>
must dream me<br>
or i cannot dream you<br>
into my dream<br>
<br>
breathing--<br>
<br>
in and out<br>
motionless <br>
under archaic lapis<br>
<br>
in and out<br>
like a bronze man breathing<br>
his azury breath<br>
at the azury centre of time<br>
released from all destructions— <br>
<br>
"what does all this have to do with technology? I wanna hear about
the latest electronic gagets! not spirals!" I think it all indicates so
clearly how extremely far technology has still to come... Stephen
Hawking, in my very bad paraphrase, suggests physics, science,
technology can take us only to the 'event'. Gods must take you beyond.
Not to be blasphemous or initiate aggression, I have always believed
poets and artists can also take you beyond where science cannot go...

For scientists,(poor things),it'll almost take a Physics approach to
come even near this stuff.

Wahwaa! Tapwee lii boñ nistwer. Kihchi-maarsii! Wow! Some really
wonderful stories. Thank-you very much!<br>
<br>
I remember having to write "my own cosmology" for a course I did at UBC
some years ago.... The images that came to my mind were of spirals
within spirals and multiple "returns to origin".... It was nothing
like what I had been taught in the course (Geophysics/Astrophysics)!
LOL! Anyhow, I continue to ponder the images ever since.... <br>
<br>
Kihchi-maarsii por tii parol! Thank-you for your words!<br>

Rolland, write what you remember, to leave it for your grandchildren

My husband has just done that — from what his grandparents and other
elders born in the 19th century told him. It took him some 15 years.
He is now in his 90s and now, finally, his book is in press, some 600
pages, at the Universidad de San Marcos, and they say that it will be
used not only in Tupe but in the whole Province for students in high
school so they may have a history of their own. It is time.<br>
<br>
He drew three maps, one for before the Spanish, one for after and one
modern. And now he’s thinking of the next book, of all the more that
he’s remembered. <br>
