•Explain,–A genius? For 37 years I have practiced fourteen hours a day, and now they call me a genius… –Pablo Sarasate (Violinist)

Journal #12• Part III:

I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it there. I still fall in…It’s a habit. My eyes are open. I know where I am. It is my fault. I get out immediately. Part IV:I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. I walk down another street.

• Part II: I walk down the street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost…I am helpless. It is not my fault. It takes forever to find my way out. Part II:I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I pretend I don’t see it. I fall in. I can’t believe I am in the same place. But it isn’t my fault. It still takes a long time to get out. 

Why does History repeat?

The Empty Boat

The Empty Boat

• In a river mist, if another boat knocks against yours, you might yell at the other fellow to stay clear. But if you notice then, that it's an empty boat, adrift with nobody aboard, you stop yelling. When you discover that all the others are drifting boats, there's no one to yell at. And when you find out you are an empty boat, there's no one to yell. -Chuang Tzu

–“Is Anti-Zionism the same thing as Anti-Semitism?”

Journal #17• Explain

– ...is based on the observation of monkeys on some remote chain of islands. When the monkeys on one island discovered a new way to get coconuts down from the tree (or was it bananas?), the monkeys living on a nearby island somehow acquired that same knowledge, even though there was no physical contact between the two groups of monkeys.

So the theory goes that when, one by one, the members of a group (monkeys... us) begin to acquire a certain piece of knowledge, there is a tipping point - the hundredth monkey - where this knowledge passes into the collective consciousness, and all members of the group acquire that knowledge.
