“Rusty Bucket” by Jim Gensheer
thoughts leaking precision
from buckets of brains
hauled from decade to decade
old scholarship banged up
by too many trip-and-falls
clumsy with age among
fast moving new-minted minds
never stepping in classical stains
from incontinent seepage
of once settled science
From my book Bohemian Scents
Writer Lynne Sargent
Poetry Puttering by Pax & Company
Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte
"drink from the well of your self and begin again" ~charles bukowski
no dust here
Looking ahead, without looking back (too often)
flights of fancy from New Zealand
You're never alone, if you've something to share
All you touch and all you see / is all your life will ever be

Isn’t it odd that technology once strolled along at an easy, almost artistic pace, yet now sprints at a ridiculous, perhaps amazing bland pace. Your fine words had this old mind thinking, Paul

Interesting thought. Or, maybe it is still being artistic now. It has become eternally more imaginative. I speak like this because this is how I approach my scientific calling.

Likely you are correct. Imagination is not in doubt in part or at all. Jolly fine thought provoking poem though – that’s the main thing.

thanks, mike – notwithstanding Moore’s Law and other theories of accelerating technology, it’ important that we don’t get bogged down in scientific dogma – I like to think that even old Isaac Newton would agree
