Pianotech

On January 1, 2014 I first saw this post on Pianotech from Ron Nossaman. It stays in the back of my mind all the time. If you're newer to this community and have never seen it, it's worth a look.

May the coming year realize something so far so unlikely as to be

inconceivable.

May we understand and accept the simplicities of physical reality,

without the fabricated complexities and fantasies necessary to force the

universe into compliance with our egos and unrealistic and fantastic

presumptions and fabrications.

May we attempt to think and evaluate rationally rather than intuit and

believe without evidence or rationale,

and be willing to adopt the more intelligently rational conclusion until such time as something more intelligent and rational displaces it with even

better supporting evidence.

May we wake up, grow up, and achieve some semblance of consciousness and

self awareness, and an understanding of how tragically and unnecessarily

pitiful we typically are.

May we learn to think.

May we learn to learn,

May we grow as we learn until thinking is the commonplace default.
