Why is it that there are so many of us with science backgrounds on a poetry board? Mathematics is the language of most sciences, and I've always felt that mathematics has a poetry of its own. The proof of Euler's Identity is simple & direct, requiring only an introduction to 1st year calculus... the startling fact that the ratio between adjacent elements from ANY Fibonacci-like sequence converge to the Golden Ratio, (ir)regardless of its starting point, can be proven by a few lines of algebraic haiku... Such demonstrations appeal to the mystic in many of us, I would guess.

Overjoyed to see so many wonderfully creative friends reconnecting in the new Blue.
Happy Pancakes a la paul kren and Much Love to all! Let's get writing and posting again!

Sasha, I can't decide if you used 'irregardless' or not! Heh.
I didn't run into Euler's ID in math class--I recall that it was a physics project that caused me to have to notice it. And it was very distracting. I mused: IF there ARE aliens out there somewhere, then this is likely the language they're sure to understand--THIS is how we'll have to talk to them.
Bromanoph, may I have a portion of pancake? I'll take a pi-shaped piece, thank you!

I mused: IF there ARE aliens out there somewhere, then this is likely the language they're sure to understand--THIS is how we'll have to talk to them. Actually, the only justification for Euler's ID I got in school was a hand-wavy comparison of the Taylor series for the exponential & trig functions. I saw a more first-principles method on one of YouTube's excellent math tutorials (BlackPenRedPen, I think). Likewise, the explanation why all Fibonacci sequences contain the Golden Ratio came from another YT channel I love, Numberphile. Sybermath [sic] & Michael Penn are also really good, though Penn sometimes veers away from application into more theoretical math, leaving me in the dust during the 1st lap.

I remember Goldenmyst! If You remember me - I wrote about the soul-biking rabbits. I was their secretary - writing about their adventures. I have finally learned my 7th language. I am now living in Rhodopi mountains (Bulgarian side).

Hello, this is the guy who formerly was known here as Mantraschism. How's everyone been? I've been through a lot since I was last active on this forum, but then again so has everyone else, I'm sure. I don't write much anymore, simply because I don't find inspiration as easily as I used to. I'm looking for it, though. Maybe I'll post some of the stuff I've written over the past decade or so, but for now this quick greeting will suffice.

good to see you. Share your stuff, it'll be good to see some new rhythms in town.

Bromanoph here. Real name David.
I must say I am so pleased and excited to see people returning to the blue. As paul kren (rest in power my Friend) would say; "happy pancakes!"
I have been through hell and back (again) and my life was turned upside down, shattered and broken but I am kintsugi in human form and I will rebuild.
It is ever so inspiring to "see" and hear this beautiful community share and speak their truths once again. Let us continue to build.
Much Love, Brom.

Salut!
I migrated through various topographies. I taught. I fought. I discovered pot (medical cannabis). I suffered. I uttered, and was unheard. I stopped playing parts- disassociation is an art. I bottomed. I sobered UP. I drank from another cup - dry; but, I was still lost, until I wrote words. And, in this here and now moment, I am back in the herd, nerds!
