My day job is to draw and interpret strange diagrams that correspond to ever changing fields that flit between metal and motion

Waves whisper low,
under a bruised velvet sky.
Gold melts on the sand.
As dreams drift on by.
A ship like a thought,
Sails far from the shore.
While night hums a secret.
And the sea wants more.

I feel like we are always rebuilding ourselves, just one bit at a time. Always rebuilding after the last heartbreak, tragedy or earth shattering disaster destroyed your previous self.

When I look at or experience a great piece of art it is often meaningful because it represents the crystallisation of thousands of hours of effort and practise

"Art is not for fixing yourself, it is for showing others you are broken so they may feel less alone."

I was walking yesterday with my headphones in when a branch shifted with the breeze.
It reached down and brushed my ear enough to pause the music I was listening to.
I said 'fair enough' and walked the rest of the way listening to the wind in the trees and the birds

I think "fear" can be more about respect, awe, reverence -- it doesn't have to be an anxious, controlling fear.

basically everything good people want about the past is just because we lived so far beneath the carrying capacity of earths ecosystem so what if we just fucking ecomaxxed and biopilled and made the ecosystem so fucking sick it could just support 10 billion people idk

Post no 2. Ideas for future posts: Diatoms, I love diatoms and want to write a summary of what they are with a few good photos from microscopes etc. I think it would be really cool.

Electrical eng summary, a post about decision making in the field that I am most experienced in

Ok, post no.1 Work Culture: I went to a work end of year event today in Australia. The culture is summarised as - everyone knows the billionaire major shareholder is not to be taken seriously, so we should all get as many free drinks as possible.

Ok haven't been a major poster before so going to write out my goals while no one is looking:

1) Send 100 posts aka Visa methods to get better at a thing

2) posts as diary or compilation of interesting thoughts I can reference later

Hello world!
