2019-02-01 – For Colette

Saturday, February 2nd, 2019

She’s quiet about her love.
but it fills the forms where she lives.
Each room ordered in a vision
that reflects her inner self.

I run up to her and I hug her
and she replies, “Here…”

“Here, with these rooms that I share with you,
here, I give you what I am.
Here, where my eyes and hands
have past over things ten-thousand times,
be here with me in this,
my inner garden.

2019-02-04 – The Flow

Sunday, March 10th, 2019
 
Go with the flow.
   Let the moment to moment impressions
      be the river you are in.

What stops you?
   The need to ask, "What does it mean?"

That urge to bring
   your logical mind in
to pull the summation handle
   and to render up an answer?

But, as you do,
   you step out of the flow,
into the cognitive
   and out of the now.

2019-03-30 – Quantum brain stuff

Saturday, March 30th, 2019

If the rate of energy dispersal
is the ultimate driver of why
complexity builds in the midst
of an existence driven by
The Second Law of Thermodynamics,
then it may go some way towards
explaining why the process of
Photosynthesis has been demonstrated
to exhibit quantum effects.

If the quantum-aided solution
provides Photosynthesis with better
energy degradation,
then it would be preferred by nature
over the non-quantum solution.

This notion should be generalizable
and be applicable to how the brain
integrates information in Tononi’s
“Integrated Information Theory
of Consciousness”.
