Meaning
of Life
Ambitious
title and it is a short blog, because he wants it that way. With a question he sweeps away all
doubt. Am I making problems for
myself? Meaning of Life and maybe that
is way too much to handle before consuming his first cup of tea on Saturday
morning, 6 am. Perhaps a step back and
that will clarify the stream of thought he is having. Meaning of Life becomes, does this have a meaning for me? Now what, he has introduced a completely
different idea into the conversation, and as we might dread or hesitate, it
seems to be all about him. Blog writer
and Stoney and might be a brief history lesson to determine if this is about
the MEE MEE Generation. He steps back. States it all as clearly as he can. Meaning of Life is bigger than one person,
hence can’t be a blog just about me. Now
I am feeling better. If this is not a
blog about Stoney Blogger and the Meaning of Life as interpreted by him, what
is it about? Maybe its about asking or
starting out with the right question, and we know that in a short blog, Questioning the meaning of life is a bit too
much. So where do we go from here? Let me explain.
It
all begins for me right here. John
Muir. 1871. Let me explain.
I
have no idea what it means, nor why this might be important just now. Is the reason I am here, blogging at 6 am on a
Saturday morning about something I know so little about. Things that increase my ignorance. Blog titles that include: The Meaning of Life. Blog comments that inform me about John
Muir. 1871. And a thought I woke with. My world begins with this: San Francisco
1850 to 2050. This has been a
constant for me. When I sit down to
write, be it a blog or a book or a short essay, my starting point is always a
block of years which I try to focus on.
From these years I draw from the source and without much effort,
complete the sentence I am working on.
One thing leads to another and before I know it I have completed a daily
blog. That continues and I keep writing. Suddenly I realize I have completed a
manuscript. Not sure I am brave enough
to call it a book, but have reinvented myself as of late, and am no longer an
aspiring writer, amateur to profession, but instead have become in the stomach
of my own mind, a CONTENT PROVIDER.
Meaning
of Life and now we ask again, what does he mean? Content Provider and is a new term, or at
least new to me. Not sure the difference
between a published writer and a Content
Provider can be explained in a short blog.
So he takes a short cut. Mentions
John Muir. 1871. And he had mentioned already that he is talking
about a meaning of life that can be centered in the years 1850 to 2050. And now we know, he is talking in big pictures terms. We know for now that a single or individual
life does not take up the span of 200 years.
So that narrows things down. He is
talking about a collective life and the meaning that might be derived from
that. Again this is a Stoney-Blogger
Interpretation. Truth is.
Caught
in a stream going in two directions or more.
From mountain high to sea bottom, and we realize, there lies the answer
to all of this. Meaning of Life and add
to that a simple fact some have related to me.
A single cell holds all the information necessary for creation. Meaning of Life. Creation.
Published Author. Content
Provider. John Muir. 1871.
Puzzling perhaps, until he mentions that he is thinking about a
collection of things that begin with looking at a blog comment in one of the
blogs he wrote, not long ago. In that
blog, Sumie Madness and Brush Off he finds what he is looking for.
Is
an interesting comment from an online-Associate who lives in Scotland, but has
thoughts from time to time that stretch from his world to mine. And this is where this blog really starts to
take on meaning. The COLLECTIVE. Not sure if I am referring to this world I
partially occupy. Online and
Communicating with others, by writing a blog that is usually centered just on
me, and is what we say, stream of consciousness writing. Caught in a stream going in two directions or
more. And am currently in a pool or eddy
that swirls and calms, and is not exactly standing water, but is mirror-like
island from which I can reflect,
Mountains and Sea. 1850 to 2050. Spans the years. Starting not in San Francisco in 1848, but
rather starts here and now. John
Muir. 1871. Yosemite.
In this blog and with the help of others, am transported to Yosemite in
1871. Now in my mind, my work is done. The rest should be other than MEE-MEE. Keeping with my intent, a blog should be
short. Which means, one’s intent should
be clear when writing such things.
Meaning of Life and I cannot explain that to you in this blog. But I can give meaning to such things as the
mentioning of John Muir and a reference to Yosemite, California. 1871.
Perhaps
I have done all I can. What follows is surprise and delight for me. Without knowing much about what I speak or
write about, clarification often comes later.
Comment Field and the contribution of others, and I am thinking: This is the Meaning of Life for me. Shared thought. Collective and contributions made, spanning
oceans and continents and time. And
there it is. Am almost done now. But not yet.
Now
I have reached the point when reality and dream are one. 1850 or is it 1871? Not being very precise now, but that appeals
to me also. Now jump ahead to 2050 and
he talks from the foundation that is clearly classified as Future. Content Provider and information is
KING. He pretends to have all the
answers and we can question that? John
Muir and what does that have to do with anything I might be interested in? Another question that may not have an
answer. Takes time, to figure it out.
And
now he has moved on. Multiple streams
from mountain to sea and he is now asking the search engine on the Internet
about Quasimoto and multiple
streams. As if doing so will make sense
and complete the thought. John Muir
. 1871.
And he learns. Yosemite
Glaciers. New York Tribune. December 5, 1871. The following was John Muir’s first published
work, for which he was paid $200 dollars.
Which at the time, 1871, was a large sum of money. Contrast that with the idea, Stoney writes
this blog for FREE. Imagine that. He smiles.
Likes the idea that John Muir describes his adventures in Yosemite and
his surprising discovery.
And
what might that be, his discover that gives meaning to life, or perhaps is the
meaning of life that Stoney-Blogger is looking for. Exciting discovery of ‘LIVING’ glaciers in
the Sierra Nevada in the fall of 1871.
And stoney-blogger wonders, in
2050 what will be the fate of the
natural state of things? Glaciers. Global Warming and C02. Nukes and North Korea. Will there even be a United States?
And
he laughs. Meaning of Life and his
remains buried in the mountains or at the bottom of the sea. Somewhere in time. 1850 to 2050.
And again he mentions John Muir. 1871.
And now we know why. He read it
in a book or in a blog-comment-field, and he is clearly distracted or dedicated
to being caught in a stream going in two directions or more. From mountain high to sea bottom, and we
realize, there lies the answer to all of this.
Stoney’Blogger and this blog:
Meaning of Life. Joins with
Quasimoto and the Multiple Stream to become more than it really is.
Imagine that.
Thank you. 'Streams of Consciousness', you have brought them to life. So wonderful when they can meet, even if they are meltwaters from receding glaciers. Today in Edinburgh I am planning to enjoy the art work of Phoebe Traquair and share something with my wife.
