Posted by Gabriel Ricard on 02/13/12 at 09:27 PM There's a really well defined, beautifully realized mediation of the universe at large here. A desire to figure things out that really comes across in these lines. I loved it. |

Posted by Glenn Currier on 02/27/12 at 04:20 PM Being an old (and I mean OLD) philosophy major, I especially like your epistemological bent. Thank God I do not often think about whether I am sitting on quarks or within a Higgs field. I just enjoy this soft leather chair and the way it supports my old bones. Thanks for a delight, George. |
Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 03/06/12 at 06:09 PM "i love this moment" - this is the thought I try to hold onto, as my mind just boggles when people discuss what is real. Your last line adds humor to this deep subject - I appreciate that and I like the way you have explored the subject. |
Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 04/09/12 at 03:07 PM I like how this takes us from time and space as a whole down to the atomic level. The car and chair make for excellent examples of the philosophy behind tyhe poem. I'm no physicist, but another way of looking at it is every mass, from a rock to a human being, etc. are just vibrations, each one unique in its frequency. |
