Footprints in the Windsm # 1912–More you don’t know

Footprints in the Windsm # 1912

The universe of things we can know is just outside the sphere of the things we know. So…the more you know, the more you don’t know. Simple as that.

Hyperlinkish

Differently
we think from how we did
Friends
convivial with German, Aussie,
Nepalese, Haitian
Dreaming
in links, maps, videos,
and machines talking back
Hyperlinkish
already we partly are
maybe always have been

Footprints in the Windsm # 1911–& dancing northern lights

Footprints in the Windsm # 1911

Dew and freshness starts the day
In light we make our hay
Infants become adults
And do we stop
On becoming elders?
Before moon & stars
& dancing northern lights?

Left them out

I had proposed questions and stories addressed to individuals in the succeeding generations, if any. I was wrong. I left out community and especially conversation. Who are we together, and can we be better? Together? Organically?

Parents’ like background

My life experience is my own; my parents’ feels like background, contributing to my basic worldview. My grandparents’ seems quaint, a distant, overarching philosophy.

Unending conversation

Some books and other writings require more mental effort than others. How do we engage our readers? Story? Questions? What do you think? What techniques have you used? To write deliberately in this manner—to engage one’s readers in an unending conversation—takes more effort than a lecture. Could it also be more rewarding—for the generations of readers? How could you improve on this train of thought? The questions asked have to be attractive, possible to tackle, and present a heightened level of challenge.

Google-faced?

Google-faced. We may all be. In one possible future. No, I don’t. What do you think it means? Might mean?

Lots of meetings

Holding lots of meetings with people and their ideas, combined with thinking, produces new things. Enough will be of high quality to keep up.
