*********************<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An excerpt from a poem by Noriko Ibaragi.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think ? Thoughts?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refreshing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foolish?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dementia candidate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pathetic <\/p>\n\n\n\n

or<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inspiring?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small minded?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expansive minded?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eccentric?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creative?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stuck in the past?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Living in the here and now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artistic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aging?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grandma?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stuck?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wishful?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cool?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s no right or wrong but it makes us wonder as the world rapidly changes with all the big data compiled, only AI can process and make sense out of. AI will surpass our human brain capabilities to do our work – then, what are we humans to do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guess it’s no longer about doing but … it’s about being. Being a human “being”. Noriko-san knew this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just got back from Japan and my mind is swimming in a flood of swirling time zones … sleeplessness then sleepiness … alternating between REM and wakefulness, all at wrong times. zzz A bit like Yoga Nidra self imposed … do we dream over different zones?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In international flights do we pack in one film after another staring into the bright screen earphones shutting off our surroundings ? Or do we look out the window daydreaming with clouds floating about and so are your thoughts ruminating ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
