Perhaps lightness is a pre-requisite for a course in memetics.... I am
not sure however.
There is not a single day that passes for me with my participation that
I do not add a new miracle to my log.
My notation for today includes the following:
Brett provided an entirely new way of thinking about how to keep track
of ideas in a graphical manner.
What happened to me is this Brett. I have been working on my colored
pencil art and my glass work recently (though not as much time as I
would like). Until you said what you said here, I thought of art as
representation or non-representation. What you gave me is the idea that
I need to work on my art to convey my belief system. My neurons thank
you!
