The White Rabbit, last seen at the entrance to Merlin's castle (witness here [link] ) returned this morning digging around in that part of the Sacred Grove where we hide the most sacred of the sacred plants.
"Where have you been all the time? And what are you looking for?" I asked him curiously.
"One question at a time please," he answered, chewing on something.
"OK, where have you been all the time?" I insisted.
"Oh well, it's like, you know, kind of, like, eh, yeah, that's it, kind of..."
"Since when do you talk like a Modern day American?"
"It's like, kind of adopting to, you know, environment and all this stuff, kind of, you know..."
"This here is the Sacred Grove, and this one is neither in Glastonbury nor in California!"
"I know, you know, kind of, it's like..."
"OK, OK !!! So, where have you been all the time since I've last seen you?"
"Always here where I was, am, and will be. It's YOU who moved around, kind of, or it's like at least that's what you think, you know!?"
"Hmm," I said, "so what are digging there in sacred, secret part of my garden?" More >

An omission in my list of Noias was pointed out to me today:
Anoia: the absence of Noia, the knowledge (of Pleroma), or the INABILITY to achieve the same, attributed to a certain interdimensional race of Beings in the Gnostic scriptures (in Hermetic Ifá 'those who eat', namely the energy of Epinoia of others, sic!, pls refrain from calling names in the commentaries, will you!).
Wikipedia talks about the derivation from French 'ennui' for the English equivalent 'annoyance', completely ignoring the Latin/Italian prototype of 'annoia'. Oh well, I still love and admire Wirkipedia, of course :-)
But in checking the net, I found the interesting site ANNOY.COM which talks about the super-double-speak US law that makes it a felony to intentional say some something indecent to annoy someone else. Cool BLOG.
Another question I heard was about the difference between Protennoia and Pronoia. The answer is very much beyond this BLOG, let's say that in Hermetic Ifá we'll see the Protennoia as the original, prototypical Pronoia of the Universe, unfolding in a triad (trimorphic); from an idealistc point of view, one could boldy state that the Pronoia of man would be the intentional product of the orginal trimorphic protoennoia, a speculation everyone should decide for him/herself.
Some may complain here that 'Hermetic' equals 'secret' and one shouldn't talk about things like that in public. My view is that those who 'know', know it anyway and those who don't won' bother... secrecy is needed sometimes, of course, but other in those instances, it is being abused to create cult-like organizations with the intent to exploit and/or suppress fellow humans.

MATH GENDER TERMS AND QUALITIES
just a casual observation here, I was trying to see if mathematics has any gender qualities or terms or distinctions and apparently just skimming the surface the answer seems to be no. math does not seem to address or distinguish any gender specific qualities or phenomenon.
Now is that a gross oversight or just ?
Language on the other hand has many gender attributes and terms and such.
the info available though seemed to suggest that men are better at math which appears gender neutral
and women are better at language which is gender specific or aware.
this seems somewhat mysterious ?

All of us are watchers---
of television, of time clocks,
of traffic on the freeway---but
few are observers. Everyone is
looking, not many are seeing.
---Peter M. Leschak
You ask why I live in the mountain forest,
and I smile and am silent,
And even my soul remains quiet:
It lives in the other world
Which no one owns.
The peach trees blossom.
The water flows.
---Li Po
My nature is subdued
to what it works in,
like the dyer's hand.
---William Shakespeare
Amid hectic preparations for a move to Providence, Rhode Island, Professor of English Emeritus John Tagliabue---the muse of Bates College for more than forty years---and his wife, Grace, took time out for portraits by Phyllis Graber Jensen in the garden of Muskie Archives. The caption, a fragment from a poem in John's book New And Selected Poems: 1942-1997, reads "...a breeze hails our way,
we lift our sails;
we hold on to each other for dear life." (Bates Magazine, Spring 1998)
And so a year has gone by. A year without friend and poet John Tagliabue. A year without Tagliabue and the sun has shined its radiance with slight dimness. Music of the spheres has played less sparkling. The dancers whirl without shout. His death last year was certainly at his time, but it has meant a year without my teacher pushing me closer to the edge.
Besides a flutter of poems tumbling out like petals from blossoms, his letters and conversation always contained what books to read. He urged them as he did his assignments, shrugging off your foolishness if obviously you didn't read them. There were exhibits at the museums and he would tell you. Dancers and actors on the boards, and he needed to share with his own advertisements. There were foods and people from so many countries to visit. Be sure to have pad and pencil for jotting down impressions of human scenes on the train.
One time, when I was a junior at Bates College, where he taught and I learned, he decided he wanted to see Martha Graham dance in New York. It might be her very last time. We were in Maine. John had a car but he never learned to drive. Refused to. Usually his wife Grace took him somewhere he needed to be, but for some reason this time he asked a few of us students if we wanted to drive him. And we'd see La Martha of course. More >
