are like windows

You can choose to

they don't come back. 

Or, you can choose

 to jump into them, 

and you never know

 what you may find. "

" Music is a moral law.

 It gives soul

 to the universe,

 wings to the mind,

 flight to the imagination, 

and charm and 

gaiety to life

 and to everything. "

Plato 

"Hell is full

of musical amateurs. "

G. B. Shaw

" Everything worth having

 costs something, 

and the price of true love

 is self-knowledge.

Becoming acquainted

 with yourself 

is a price well worth paying

 for the love that will really

 address your needs."

I promised to respect the anonymity

 of this lady;

so she doesn't mind me telling You

that she is 60.

Yes, that is a real tattoo;

No, it is not her first;

Yes, the rest of her

also looks decidedly

un-Sixty!

" Above

with its light. 

Above all things 

reverence thyself. "  *

Pythagoras 

*Sociopaths Excepted PLEASE

" There is geometry

 in the humming of the strings,

 there is music 

in the spacing of the spheres. "

Pythagoras 

Oh yeah, the "Music of the Spheres" guy

" The dictum of the Pythagorean school was 

"All is number."

What this meant was that 

all things of the universe 

had a numerical attribute 

that uniquely described them. 

For example,

• The number one : the number of reason.
• The number two: the first even or female number, the number of opinion.
• The number three: the first true male number, the number of harmony.
• The number four: the number of justice or retribution.
• The number five: marriage.
• The number six: creation
• 
• The number ten: the tetractys, the number of the universe."

When I was very little

I had insight

into the nature

of the first ten numbers.

I can barely remember

but it was plain to me then:

1 the Ancient Grandmother

2 Her Husband Companion

3 & 4, Aunt and Uncle

5 & 6 Parents

7, 8, 9

obviously the kids.

The mystery of 10

is lost to me.

When I drove taxi

numbers were co-workers.

All had colorful nicknames

I still use today:

One

Duce

Triple

Fo

Fie, or (nickel)

then Sick;

Set,

Ate,

Nie,

and Ten.

Dispatcher say:

"Double Nickel!

Where you stay?"

"Fie Fie - 

you check me

Airport!"

In Hawaiian

a hole

is a puka,

so Zero

is Puka.

(Or Zero,

depending on the music

of the words)

When I started driving,

I was Puka Nie.

the taxi's number

became my name.

Even today,

the nicknames help me

to remember numbers:

20222 = "Du Zero Triple Duce"


See?

I'm SILLY!

But YOU knew
or suspected that :)

Comment? Yes Please!

as you will. "

Let the rain
