懐の子が喰たがる桜哉

the baby at her breast
wants to eat...
cherry blossoms


translated by David Lanoue

цветы сакуры...
младенец у твоей груди
хочет есть

* from goods and services economy to information/network economy

* from scarcity economics to abundance economics

* abundance of information means stiff competition and fast (re-)productive cycles (see http://watertank.livejournal.com/1031039.html )

New Scientist: 'Circadian eye' could be key to insomnia

Jolting these cells back into action might offer salvation to insomniacs, whose circadian cycles are slightly off, says Satchidananda Panda, a molecular biologist at the Salk Institute in San Diego, who led one study. Natural degeneration of these cells could also explain why insomnia often strikes the elderly. Read more... )

если представить себе, что время не существует, то получится, что есть только повторяемые и неповторяемые события. абстрактное мышление - способность увидеть повторeние там, где его нет.

интересно, что нужно чтобы возникло время?
