GREAT THOUGHTS = GREAT MINDS





 Great mind = great thoughts
Gabri,

Your notes are full of charm and an elegance that tastes like fine wine for my tired and distracted mind... thank you, whatever the reason you chose to look up my profile and write to me at all. I long for rain the rich scent of forest and the sea. :) I envy your trips with your Biologist friend, sounds like wonderful simplicity, not least being able to share ideas with such tactile presence. I knew I missed this... your notes remind how much....

I don't mind if you ramble or brainstorm, be random as you please... it's lovely, it somehow gives me a sense of being in a studio with you...and you talk your thoughts out loud to me as you work.. :)) It's funny that I receive your messages at a time where I feel compelled to paint, where I feel so deeply drawn to the process and have already been considering putting a brush to canvas..
I have too a pile of rough marble stones from a trip I made a few years back to the Carrara mountains not far from where I live. they call my name too.. I don't know... it is strange.

I read what you wrote about your father and your studio. we share something in having lost everything... : stories are different, but somehow I sense the heart and strength that grew alive from that pain is very much the same.

I love how you comapre making art to cooking... and music. In a very distant life I was a dancer.. so yes, you speak a language my skin recognises... :) and I am both humbled and honoured by your generosity.. You make me wish I was born a painter.

After the Science Wars What is a Thought Experiment, Anyhow? Chaos & An Unpredictable Tomorrow Peter Saltzstein  finds that Chaos Theory yields unexpected philosophical results. The future is not what it used to be. I mean, an intriguing implication of the branch of mathematics called  chaos theory  is that the future states of complex dynamical systems such as the weather, the human brain, the stock market, evolution, and history itself, are not what we once thought them to be. Specifically, chaos theory suggests that the behavior of complex systems can f

  Why do Americans go out of their way to remove this part of human anatomy, when the rest of the world does not?

Note: Never have I gotten so many comments and emails in response to a blog post, much less rumors that I’m a man. I’ll keep that in mind. And for the record, it wasn’t until 2014 that I had the opportunity to put a man’s intact penis in my very much female vagina. This frictionless appendage made me realize that sex doesn’t have to be painful or cause hazardous inflammation. And with that image in your mind… I was nineteen or twenty years old when a male friend of mine, we’ll call him B
