“The neuro-biology of playing a musical instrument is completely scientific, but it’s also an absolute miracle, that you’re taking basically a calcium bucket filled with salt-water that’s run by a weak electrical signal, and you’re using it to move your flesh around in order to manipulate an instrument which disturbs air molecules between you and the listener, and then the listener’s ears picks up those disturbed air molecules which generates a weak electrical signal to their calcium bucket full of salt water, and they feel a feeling. That’s miraculous, and that’s where I live.” FeelsFeelingsRunningMovingOrderWaterAirPicksWeakEarsMiracleAbsolutesInstrumentsFilledMusicalFleshBiologySaltListenersSignalsManipulateMiraculousDisturbedMoleculesElectricalBucketsMusical InstrumentsCalciumSalt Water Author:Bob Brozman

“We have no participation in Being, because all human nature is ever midway between being born and dying, giving off only a vague image and shadow of itself, and a weak and uncertain opinion.

“Ninety-nine and nine-tenths of the earth’s volume must forever remain invisible and untouchable. Because more than 97 per cent of it is too hot to crystallize, its body is extremely weak. The crust, being so thin, must bend, if, over wide areas, it becomes loaded with glacial ice, ocean water or deposits of sand and mud. It must bend in the opposite sense if widely extended loads of such material be removed. This accounts for … the origin of chains of high mountains … and the rise of lava to the earth’s surface.” IfsBodyEarthWaterForeverMaterialsMountainOceanAreasWeakOppositesAccountsHotWideSurfaceNineInvisibleIceChainsSandCentsLoadVolumeMudNinetyLoadedRemovalDepositsNinety NineUntouchablesLavaOcean Water Author:Reginald Aldworth Daly
“It is useless to check the vain dunce who has caught the mania of scribbling, whether prose or poetry, canzonets or criticisms,--let such a one go on till the disease exhausts itself.
