w00t! Spring has sprung!This melting snow
These opening skies
The light breeze
The cool rain it brings
Nature is waking up again!
All around us are the signs of spring coming back. Vitamin D! I felt the need to change up the blog colours for the occasion =)
See it's all in the hopes of sort of encouraging the weather to warm up. I recently saw an amazing documentary film about the Sufi mystic poet Rumi. I knew next to nothing about him and what I learnt blew me away! Dude was deeeeeep... One of the most interesting lines in the film was "It is the water that seeks the thirst". I like this because we sort of assume we are always the seekers, where in some situations we might be the sought!
It's a philosophy I like and I've decided to change the blog colours with the seasons ^__^
See, we sometimes think of computers as dry and intrinsically mechanical things that have little to no connection with the natural and spiritual world. Thing is though, that they connect human beings together, by giving us an easy way to share our thoughts, words, sounds, images and experiences. So instead of thinking as the internet and cyberspace as an isolated data space on a different plane from the physical world, I prefer to percieve it as a realm that exists by consequence to the natural world, and exists to serve us =)
It's a bit more optimistic than the scary The Matrix philosophy. The way I see it, it's really not that far off, I'm personally quite weary of things like MMORPGS, augmented reality, UAVs and nanotech. So long as we're a bit optomistic, and well keep our place in the food chain, it's all good!
So this final exam season, take a breath of fresh air on your break; put down the game controller for a bit, close the laptop and go get some vitamin D! Take walks in the spring before the summer heat shuts us in again!
Happy spring everyone ^__^
