@postaday @WordPressdotcom #Discovery #Challenge Song (in multimedia-heavy format)

As instructed by the WordPress Discovery Challenge on the theme “Song” in multimedia-heavy format at:

                          Song

     Here is a gif (graphics interchange format,) doctorstrange

as background and header, here, where about 23 images were animated by Marvel Studios (used here non-commercially for academic purposes) to form an auto-play loop of a scene in motion: i hedged in superimposing any text on the gif, because the gif makes it dizzying to read the text, i’m just happy with my gif and song — i’m all form and no substance — and i don’t want you to read this, because i speak bleak, so don’t read it na lang. (if you’re going to read, that’s your decision, i don’t recommend it)

This gif  illustrates the theory that space and time can be folded up.                   

     When i said the other day (Conversations with a Millennial at: 

http://wp.me/p2mko-7S2

) that all this was theoretical, what i meant was: It was never going to be completed within our lifetime, nor the lifetime of our children or grandchildren. Because if our species had succeeded (in building a “wormhole”, an artificial blackhole that could fold up space and time), they would have been able to come back and “travel” across time, but they didn’t : NOTHING. 

     Not even an email from the future.  Kahit man lang radio signals or text or an instagram post from the future…Nothing. Our species never made it. That’s okay, it’s a thousand years from now and we have 50 to 100 years apiece to live, so no worries 🙂 hwag mo problemahin ang hindi  mo  problema. i’m  just gibberishng for the WordPress Discovery Challenge post don’t mind me 🙂

ode to the snake-charmer

“She was doing the Cobra thing.   She was like…(makes movements)… copying the snake. And it was like…  right here, and she was like…”

 “You did not watch closely enough, Shao Dre… It was the snake that was copying the woman.”

“What? I don’t get it.”

“Look.” (points at pool of drinking water) What do you see?”

  “Me, well my reflection.”

“Yes. (whirls water). Now, what do you see?”

“It’s blurry.”


“Yes.”

“That woman was like still water. Quiet and calm. In here (puts hand on the head) and in here (puts hand on the heart) .

“So, the snake reflects her action like still water. Like a mirror?”

  “Yes.”

“So, she controlled the snake by doing nothing?”

“Being still and doing nothing…  are two very different things.

“She used her Chi on that snake, didn’t she?”

  “Very good.”

“You gotta teach me that.  How to control people.”

“There is only one person you need to learn how to control.”

“Who?”

“Empty your mind…”
