The above comic represents the idea of umwelt, and I nearly took it for a late April’s Fool joke. Until a quick wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umwelt) confirmed the existence of he theory that creatures that share the same environment might not perceive that shared environment the same. Randall Munroe does a very neat trick that plays off the idea of umwelt.
Here’s a question, do you share your umwelten?

The Washington Post recently announced the winners of its sixth annual Peeps Show diorama contest. This year’s finalists were heavy on politics, but over six years, many of the best entries depict scenes from our favorite movies.

Sometimes I think too much, or there is a nagging little thought stuck in my mental craw that I just can’t get loose. These things seem to get me stuck on a question, and I’m usually too shy to bother asking them. Mostly because they seem like such silly questions or they might divide people rather than bring them together, which is the opposite of what I want to do.
So I am deciding to start using this tumblr to ask these questions, to the internet. I feel this is more likely to get a legitimate conversation going than asking “God, the Universe, or just sitting with it” might give me. I seek only a conversation and wisdom, not recriminations and proselytizing, all are equal and equally right. Questions may come sporadically mixed with updates or things found and shared.
Tonight is a night for pondering the stars, for deep breaths, for remembering the miracle that each and everyone of us is, and for taking the time to realize that about each other.
