The Illusion of the Central Node
Spend all time in wandering state
unintentionally in-incomprehensible
maze corridor.
A node is found.
Convincing as center. From here, the spokes.
The Illusion of the Central Node is reborn.
This one reads:
"To maintain production level is equal to spiritual attainment."
By what shades & tempers shall we know you?
Are you Destined or are you Developing a Purpose?
No conscious worries. Surrender expectations for success.
Highest assignment: "The Founding Monk."
The Work of the Zealot,
the Opportunity of Living provides
the answer: the Work of the Way!
Still, other hallways,
Echoes.
New Nodes.
Dazy Ratravels.
Argie Mendido.
PaPsqua PaPsqua.
Utee! Ra.

Important Numbers
The Buddhist Incalculable:
1 followed by 352 septillions of kilometers of zeros
allowing that one zero occupies a length of one-thousandth of a meter
and being the length of one life of the universe
----------------------------------
Planck's Constant:
6.6260693 x 10-34 Joule seconds
(very small)
This number is used in calculations derived from the observation of subatomic physics. If a different number is substituted, the equations don't work out, so, it is often said, the universe would fail to exist as we know it.

The Return
Tao Te Ching Chapter 16
Attain utmost emptiness.
Abide by sincere tranquility.
The 10000 things circulate.
I contemplate only the Return.
For, flourishing as they do,
each thing returns to its source.
Returning to the source is called tranquility.
This is what is meant by “returning to Nature.”
Returning to nature is acceptance of constancy.
Accepting constancy is enlightenment.
Not accepting constancy can lead one to calamity.
Accepting constancy, the mind opens to the universe.
Openminded, the heart opens to the universe.
Openhearted, one acts with vituous leadership.
Acting with virtuous leadership, one attains the divine.
To attain divinity is to be one with the Tao.
To be one with the Tao is to be

Ego's Wars with the Heart
I have only one path to teach
and the path is love.
I use love as a razor to

A keloid is a fiborous proliferation of scar tissue following trauma or surgical incision. From the French, kéloïde, from the Greek, khl, meaning claw, plus the Greek -oeids, from eidos, meaning shape or form.

resinous & vitreous
Robert Symmer proposed the terms RESINOUS and VITREOUS for the two states of electrical energy, designated NEGATIVE and POSITIVE, respectively, by Benjamin Franklin.
Franklin is widely accepted as having gotten it backwards. The (-) side of a battery actually has excess charge and the (+) side of the battery is vacant.
But Ben not only got it wrong, condemning us users of electricity for centuries to have to ignore the ill convention for the sake of communication, but, relative to Symmer's proposal, he dubbed the phenomenon shamefully apoetic as well. Maybe it's the mathematic correlation that assured the classification's ultimate success.

Nevertheless, electricity is an interplay of a restless resin and a vitreous void.

Duncan Phyfe
adapted from Columbia Encyclopedia:
circa 1768–1854, American cabinetmaker, born in Scotland.
He emigrated to America c.1783, settling at Albany, N.Y., where he was apprenticed to a cabinetmaker. In the early 1790s he established a shop in New York City for the production of furniture; after several moves he finally settled in Partition St. (later changed to Fulton St.), employing over a hundred craftsmen.
He made chairs, sofas or settees, tables, and sideboards, using in great part solid mahogany but also some mahogany veneer, satinwood and maple, and, in later years, rosewood. During his most productive period (until 1820) he was influenced by, and adapted the forms of, the Adam brothers, Hepplewhite, and Sheraton and characteristics of the French Directoire and Consulate styles. Later, his designs followed the Empire style, becoming in his final period heavily ornamented.
Phyfe employed in general the highest standards, applied under supervision to carefully selected woods. His first designs are characterized by excellent proportions, graceful curves often accentuated by parallel rows of reeding, simple ornaments well placed and carved with precision, and decorative motifs such as the lyre, the acanthus or oak leaf, and the drapery swag. Although much furniture termed Phyfe may not have been produced in his workshop, his designs were the nucleus of the Duncan Phyfe style.
