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?
Paul Jones May 2017
Still with stoic calm,       you keep the balance,
as moods move through you     like waves through water.
10:30 - 05/05/17
State of mind: quizzical, nostalgia, calm

Thoughts: from thinking - about what I've read from Epicurus combined with ideas of a wave passing through something which temporarily alters or moves it, returning to its original state once the wave has passed.

Questions: Does not life behave like a wave, in this sense?
Paul Jones May 2017
We moved to and fro,     felt the pulse of life,
free with the rhythm     and commune of dance.
21:00 - 04/05/17
(May the forth be with you).
Paul Jones May 2017
The dark of the sky      drifting over me;
heavy with feeling,      lightness of being.
21:45 - 02/05/17
Paul Jones May 2017
I might see further,      should I bounce belief
on the bending rule      and raise my thinking.
