13 Seconds

Tuesday, March 18, 2025

Good morning, that wonderful way.

Happy Halloween!

¿Qué?

Everyday is Halloween for a ghost.

Trick or Treat.

How about a tricky treat?

Good name for a Hip-Hop artist: Tricky Treat.

Maybe I’ll incorporate it.

Singer of the number one hit: “Boo-ya, Bae.”

Whatever music you listen to today hope it brings you joy.

On with our show.

An old philosophical question I think on at times to keep wonder alive and strong in my Life:

“What if everything you know was created 13 seconds ago?"

All your memories and dreams, you yourself, everything.

How would you know?”

What’s identity and Science but a shared memory of our identity and Science?

Life feels worthwhile. Every action we make depends on our faith in our feeling that it matters.

Reality feels real and that is the only true answer we can ever utter as to why we persist.

Matter feels like it matters, so we keep our shared dream going.

The Sun rises on phone screens and celestial space; whose to say the actuality is any different?

Perhaps we’re all just binary bits on Heaven’s big screen TV.

“But we can count and measure things, Wynn.”

For the past 13 seconds you could, at least.

We do the best we can with the dream we have right now because it feels like it matters that we do.

Our faith in our dream that anything is real at all because we feel it is, is all we can ever know for sure.

You matter, your loved ones matter, your dog and even Science matter because you believe they do.

To be alive is to be in a perpetual state of wonder or the denial of wonder.

Gratitude to be able to reaffirm your dream of each moment to make worthwhile experiences to sense that dream is a foundational first step to living a good life.

Take care of yourself, try some philosophy, realize you only matter because you feel like you do, wonder where that feeling comes from, call it divine and make a wonderful day.
