Pages of our days     flicker on the thumb;
when you are open,      I might see within.
22:10 - 10/05/17
State of mind: contentment, happiness, comfort.

Thoughts: from observation - Looking at my notebook combined with a memory of flip-books.

Question: when I am open, what do I reveal?
Paul Jones May 2017
The wet, basalt sands      sing songs with the light,
mirrors the spirit      of a starry night.
21:15 - 10/05/17
State of mind: joy, comfort.

Thoughts: from memories - walking along black sands combined with Blake's line's 'to see a world in a grain of sand...'.

Question: Light and sound are both waves. We talk about composing music with sound. How can we make music with light?
Paul Jones May 2017
I have a feeling     and it carries me,
through the veins, to the     heart of the matter.
18:30 - 09/05/17
State of mind: anxious, troubled.

Thoughts: from thinking - originally about how my thoughts are like a lightning storm... and then this.

Question: Is emotion to the mind what oxygen is to the body?
Paul Jones May 2017
Moments, like the words     we string together,
gathered so we have     somewhen we belong.
23:00 - 07/05/17
State of mind: confused, tired, tired.

Thoughts: from reading - Carl Sagan. Somewhere he said 'somewhen', although I can't remember where, or when.

Questions: None.
Paul Jones May 2017
They're now as faint as     the edge of memory -
the words you spoke, the     seed of what was said.
22:00 - 07/05/17
State of mind: reminiscence, certainty, gladness.

Thoughts: from conversations - an idea about how impacting a few strong word can be, perhaps even shaping the person you become.

Question: For every person we meet, what can be said to have the greatest meaning, to have the deepest impact?
Paul Jones May 2017
Strange comfort: you see     into everywhere
and, though you're fragile,     I trust what you feel.
19:00 - 07/05/17
State of mind: pensive, content, hopeful.

Thoughts: from conversations - an idea about perception - the sensation of complex spatial awareness.

Questions: None. Just a good feeling.
Paul Jones May 2017
There are so many     things within this world
that are here without     me knowing they're here.
18:00 - 07/05/17
State of mind: pensive; melancholic; longing.

Thoughts: from conversations - what Piotr said about time and the ideas about omnipresence.

Questions: Is it possible that all information that appears to be lost to the past can somehow still be accessed?
