Conversations about the nature of reality

Many times when I am in a group of people I feel there is something else being said, behind the words, that is thrown about. Right now I'm thinking about calculus type stuff like derivatives and integrals, and how what goes on in my head while talking to whomever I may be talking to really becomes quite an introverted expression of nothingness. It seems that for months now, the matters at hand become less important than the rawness of inspired communication itself. If I ask you, "What color is dominating your field of vision today?" and you respond along the lines of, "Green has been very prevalent but if you ask me in five minutes I'll probably say that it would be charcoal, because that is the color of the pavement that I will be staring down at while I walk," then the subject is still color but the idea of color may very well take on an entirely different meaning to you and myself for the rest of that day. The question somehow was derived from sources of information that are not easily identifiable, though one could possibly point out a few points in time and connect dots (completely off subject: how many dots make up a line that is 3 cm. long?). The answer integrates all of the thoughts and ideas of the person asking the question leading up to the question, and so the build up of the question is transformed and taken to a higher level (by acting as a point of connection to an outside mind).

In other randomness, I just finished tea (cinnamon), realize it is almost 11:30pm (clocks... bah!), and now feel that this post is coming to an end within the next 80 heartbeats.

Oh yes... I sent a message to Derek Whitacre, the creative mind behind The Moscow Coup Attempt, in which I asked if I could be his apprentice! I think that would be fun. The Moscow Coup Attempt is a musical/visual project that I have been very fond of for a few years, ever since I stumbled upon the MySpace page. Go to the website for information. Go to the music page and listen, then go to the film page and watch. It's great stuff. Amazingly creative work.
