Vogon Poetry...

I have been reviewing some of the poetry/prose compositions that have emerged from my vastly inadequate brain during the years of My Unique Human Experience (MUHE) to date. This motley collection of "Vogon Poetry" (a term that I borrowed from the wonderful book "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams), has been "collecting dust" ever since each piece was originally written. So, I thought I might bring some of them out into the "daylight" of my blog for an airing.

This first piece is a short poem that I wrote just over 11 years ago (!!) when MUHE was crossing a particularly major Event Horizon:

Premature Dejavu
12th February 1998

Suffering from premature dejavu
I jumped over the precipice

Freefall into my future
Hoping to stop at Willoughby

I don’t know about fate
But I knew about you

Pebble Philosophy...

I love the symbolism in this opening paragraph of an article that I read today...

"We are all pebbles dropped in the sea of history, where the splash strikes one way and the big tides run another, and though what we feel is the splash, the splash takes place only within those tides. In almost every case, the incoming current drowns the splash; once in a while the drop of the pebble changes the way the ocean runs."

From the article "Twin Peaks" (on Abraham Lincoln & Charles Darwin) by Adam Gopnik, published in the February 2009 edition of Smithsonian Magazine (www.smithsonian.com).

Aspirational Quote for Tomorrow...

"Less mature, more drunk!" - from the mind of my friend who is 99.9% 16 years old.

Quote of the Day...

"It is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science." - Charles Darwin.

Welcome!

Hello and welcome to The Quantum Foam Room (QFR)!

I have started the QFR blog to record my personal journey through the inevitable Event Horizon and transformational Singularity of this unique human experience.


Many people ask me what "QFR" means. I adapted it from astronomical Quantum Physics "Black Hole" theory - matter crosses the "Event Horizon" (point of no return) of a Black Hole and is then drawn down into the "Singularity", which is "ground zero" of a Black Hole. Matter that passes through the "Singularity" is totally deconstructed and becomes "Quantum Foam" in the vastness of the universe.

Quantum Foam is therefore the ultimate state of non-existance.

I relate to this theory and how it applies to our unique human experience of life. We all become Quantum Foam eventually.

I hope you find my future posts both interesting and entertaining....!

Cheers,

Sue
