On life, entropy, design and living

Life and entropy are yin and yang.
Life builds order,  
Entropy creates chaos,
Life's design principle:  Make it
Entropy's design principle: Destroy it
What remains is good design - form AND  function

Living is about giving meaning to each act of life.

Framing to be In the Moment

One of the ways I've used for years to be fully in the moment, to create that snapshot for my mind, has been to imagine that the situation I am in will be the last time I experience it, then see what I perceive and appreciate. This mind experiment might be getting too close (a contributing factor?) to what I really face.

Maybe I should shift to a more positive framing like "imagine you are an alien experiencing thi situation for the first time..."

Zombies Within

After playing a shoot 'em up video game with Dixie the other night, I found it strangely cathartic to recall blasting zombies with a shotgun. 

It occurred to me that cancer cells are a a lot like zombies - they are slow yet persistent, uncontrollably spread and you can't reason with them. So this is my uninvited guest!
