13: Check it Out
1. Purple is My Favorite Color HERE.
2. Favorite lines of the year: “Spooky entanglements” (Einstein) and “Shut-up, man” (Biden to Trump).
3. Who are you spookily entangled with? Maybe everyone.
4. Entanglement is what Einstein referred to as “spooky action at a distance.” It’s a phenomenon by which one particle can effectively “know” something about another particle instantaneously, even if those two particles are separated by a great distance.
5. More spooky Quantum Physics findings: Studies suggests that objective reality doesn’t exist. Everything in the universe has wave nature and everything in the universe also has particle nature. Quantum Mechanics tells us that when under observation, electrons are being “forced” to behave like particles and not like waves. Thus, the mere act of observation affects the experimental findings.
6. My soul was more awakened in ancient history class than church when I was a girl learning about the nature of the world.
7. Colleen to Joe after not getting dressed all day because Joe gave her a robe for Christmas that she can’t resist: “They wear robes in ashrams, don’t they?”
8. Favorite Creative Pineapple raspberry Christmas tree HERE.
9. Everyone was in red on Christmas Day and nobody was sitting on Santa’s lap because of Covid HERE.
10. The Blue Bathrobe: The taffeta of terry cloth / The royal of blue collar / The going to the opera / of staying at home / It’s the fur coat of bathrobes / The full length informal / Cinched at the waist / with pockets for tissue / It’s the latest in evening wear / The big teddy towel / I’m dreaming of a monogram / I’m undressed in style – written in 1994
11. Christmas Star 2020: A light in the dark / saves what is lost / anoints the silent night / when the paths of ages cross / When closed hearts open / and wise ways are taken / alignments are blessed / in the age of Aquarius
12. “Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry / At some point, your hero must die / To escape the hands of time / It’s okay to / not be alright/ Let it go, let it go, let it go / Face the truth and bare your soul / Lose yourself and break your heart / It’s a beautiful thing to fall apart”- From Floyd’s own Morgan Wade’s new release Don’t Cry. Listen HERE.
13. “If you know who you are, just be who you are. Don’t waste time and effort trying to get other people to acknowledge who you are. Be who you are. You know who you are.” -My Dharmacratic friend Will

What is this “getting dressed” of which you speak, CR? It’s been sweatpants and comfy T-shirt for as long as I can remember, these days.
And thanks for Ms Wade’s “Don’t Cry”… beautiful.
Looking forward & wishing you Floydians all the best for the 21.

Ah yes, the ol’ “God doesn’t play dice with the universe” thing. Einstein wasn’t always right.

You were way ahead of the times with that blue bathrobe. But I’m glad you are celebrating the season with a new one )). I’ve had a lovely time catching up and enjoyed your 13 here as always.
