“Unlike some Chinese and Japanese chroniclers who wrote accounts of their hermit huts, the celebrated Japanese poet and Zen monk Ryokan did not compose anything so specific. Ryokan was a poet, not a chronicler, but in his poetry, his hut is the setting and context of his life and practice.”
“If your hermitage is deep in the mountains surely the moon, flowers, and maple trees will become your friends.
Men of the world passing this way are few, Dense grass conceals the door All night in silence, a few woodchips burn slowly, As I read the poems of the ancients.”
“His food was procured from begging and he had a weakness for proffered sake. But guests could expect little more than “weak tea and thin soup.” Still, Ryokan wrote…
Don’t say my hut has nothing to offer come and I will share with you the cool breeze that fills my window.”
The story behind the butterfly effect is really cool. I don't remember it exactly but it goes something like:
1960s computer science guy was making a weather simulation algorithm based on real weather data. Computer memory was limited so he trimmed the input data down to 3 digits after the decimal point. He expected a little bit of inaccuracy because of that but when he ran the simulation the results were out of wack. And the longer he ran it the more inaccurate they became. The amount of air pressure that got removed by the rounding down was equivalent to the flutter of a butterfly's wing.
Hence why the flutter of a butterfly's wing changing the weather.
Also this was the origin story to an entire field called Chaos Theory.
You cannot possibly guess where this is going
I ain't even ashamed how many times I watched this.
Lmao this is the content I am here for.

my favorite work memory from this store will always be “hey remember when the subway inside the store closed down and they let me take a bunch of their shit for free and now it lives inside my house?”
my life is a joke
people who get excited about stars, moons and sunsets are my kind of people
