Niels Christian Hvidt -- The Miracle of the Holy Fire in Jerusalem

Niels Christian Hvidt -- The Miracle of the Holy Fire in Jerusalem

i think this ties in well to my recent note about attempting to chart phenomena. how you choose to appreciate it is your response-ability.

test for facts, they indicate intent, observe for preferences, they reveal character

about the only thing i can think of that pegs the irony scale higher than a mentally ill patient in charge of his own care is a blind person without a braille id card.

i'm trying to figure a way to chart singular events. at first i thought of two axis: x for time spent, y for energy exerted. then i thought of that little marvel of a compass ... one little lever pinned to a fulcrum, forever attracted north.

the secondary axises are extrapersonal events. the qualities are time (immediate to future), focus (unobserved, observed), fortune (beneficent, detrimental), predictability (controlled, uncontrolled), degree of personalization (immediate apprehension, distant), ease of remembering. others should be added.

the only icons of this are deep sea vessels and fighter aircraft.

serotonin addict, broke, out of work

looking back on the whole experience, it's been an excersize to free speech. the muscles are sore and trembling. without the help of some dear friends understanding it wouldn't have happened at all. now it's out here for evryone to see.

a few points ...

rejection or disgust triggers passive-aggression, constructive dialog develops.

the time of exposure (ratio/lever) increases preserverance, the focus of exposure (aperature/gateway) increases content.

in the end, only kindnes matters.
