"Philosophy [nature] is written in that great book which is ever before our eyes — I mean the universe — but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in a mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth." —Galielo Galilei

Current ideological language uses “practice” to define art concepts at the expense of process. Practice implies perfectibility, strategy, products: dentists have a practice, violinists practice, yoga is a practice, elephants practice for the circus. Process invites risk, uncertainty, vision, unpredictability, concentration and blind devotion.

Just purchased a 21.5-inch iMac with upgraded memory and storage to replace my now-five-year-old 13-inch MacBook. This lil guy has served me well, but it's time for him to retire.

I never buy anything so it was a little painful to see the money go, but this purchase was so necessary at this point in my life. Feeling good about it. Can't wait for her to show up in the mail. Now to come up with a name...

Are there affirmable days or places in our deteriorating world? Are there scenes in life, right now, for which we might conceivably be thankful? Is there a basis for joy or serenity, even if felt only occasionally? Are there grounds now and then for an unironic smile?
