    theres no serious distinction between art and science or words and numbers really

    No, there is not, none at all, it is all an illusion and without the tension of seeming opposites there can be no one.

    That sounds brilliant. I may have to break my, no fiction rule for that one.

    Verbing nouns is considered by some (Anglophiles) as an American abomination. I also find that in Software Houses, depending on who you are working for, the Tech Writer must use Engrish or 'Merican, ne'r the twain shall meet (OZ considers itself American in this context, NZ; England, depending on the end market (Localisations, or Localizations).
    This is the new bette noir for commercial writers, however in the old days advertising copy was the beastly child.."you simply cannot use all those short sentences, write in the vernacular and start a sentence with "And", my God, the letters that were sent in.
    Same old, same old, software houses are the new ad agencies, apparently.

    The Cross is the hook and Christ is the bait (for fishies). I live with symbols, and number plates. The oldest recorded symbol is The Centred Sun Sign, a circle with a dot in the middle, it is also a symbol of The Centred Self. The Christ myth for the Gnostics was as the 4 in One, the Cross is a symbol of the 4, Christ on the Cross is the centred self. Christ achieved totality in his lifetime. However to ascribe to this version is heresy.
    The Sun symbol is on cave walls dating from neolithic? times. The Star of Venus symbol has the Sun symbol with, because Venus tracks 8 points round the Sun, many things can be read into this.
    8 Fold Way
    Sun Cross
    However Christ may have been crucified on a Tau cross, which is probably not as bad as St Peter, who was crucified upside down, so his symbol is the inverted cross, or for some, the sublimated cross.

    Just to sniff the air with our beloved, on a hilltop, makes the Gods turn their gaze and the Fates unclamp their fierce eye, if only for a brief moment, and let us forget the stars and remember the worm, fondly, for we have seen beyond days.
    Dora Guinea is very fine like a hilltop pine.

    You Pink Guinea Pigs and your post-its (TM), you're taking over the world.
    Frankly if the whole of Creation can be described is a couple of paragrahs using 24 symbols (plus the fullstop, a symbol of Christ BTW) then I'm sure we can make ourselves understood on a blog, no?
    Never harm, hinder or harass...

    Che, you'll need to get The Notebook out for this one, he 's used The Letterbox Stuffer Trick with powder packages.
    BTW, due to you Che Not The Beret One, I have removed the 'tash, and beard, sold the 1972 280SE (yellow) and can't hang out with my brother's the Taxi Driver's in Wyndham Street (Presidents taxi's, take a trip round the world and never leave AKL).

  • Hard News: The Civility Code,

    Each one is given only as much as the heart can bear. Think not of the heart that suffers in silence, feel then of the split that made it so.

    FATE.

    Only the sublime
    inward path
    guards oblivion.

    In the heart
    straits lead
    to life within.

    Outer terror
    and drudgery
    malign.

    No slave
    lives within
    another house.

  • Hard News: The Civility Code,

    I watch the Gannets where I live, when I am out to sea, floating. Gannets mate for life. They hit the water at round 70km's per hour, evetually they go blind. Their first flight can be to Australia, I have seen many first off the cliff flights. My Gannets turfed out the Terns after a big storm sent a wave over their island, a world first, they nest on the mainland where I am. I know where and when to catch the next wave by the secret flight of the Gannets returning from way out to see, a 3 point positioning system, they time it perfectly.
    Plus they are sacred, the sea birds, because they live in all 3 elements, we cannot.
    Once while I was watching the Gannets (Takapu) 3 Bhuddist monks came to me and asked if they could take my photo...they didn't know I don't show up in photos.
