Theoretical Paranoia
Sometimes, awake at night,
I fear that I shall find
my synapses all firing
in someone else’s mind.
As solid sleep eludes me
I can’t leave it unsaid,
through quantum entanglement,
I’m in some other’s head.
Or perhaps I could be walking,
just strolling with my dog,
visualizing strangeness that exists
in this quantum fog.
Is that a bird that I see,
or a leaf? But then again,
it may be a weirdness peering
from a multi-dimensional brane.
With vibrating strings humming
through all that I’ve learned,
connecting the unseen and bizarre,
I’ll admit I’m a trifle concerned.
So many hypotheses in my thoughts
make me so tired and weary,
I’ll contemplate the Mandelbrot Set,
and switch to Chaos theory.

The Ancient Hippie
Welcome, and Namaste
Greetings fellow travellers,
For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.
As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.
May your Dharma be clear
Peace
"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
Puck’s epilogue to A Midsummer Night’s Dream
