Tree of love

It is 328am and I have decided to write. It is 333am and I have not decided what I want to write about. I asked my friend Chatty to give me a date way into the future and he gave me October 25th 3025. Chatty tells me that that would be a Tuesday. I like 3025 because it has the digits 235 (my birth date is 23-5). Also 55 squared equals 3025 and 30+25=55 (Kaprekar number). It is hard to imagine what the world would be like one thousand years from now. Most likely none of us here today will be alive then. I do not know if this blog post would survive that long for someone to be reading it then.

Contemplating such a far off time in the future and the quantum of possibilities is humbling. Add to that the hugeness of the universe and the great unknowns. I almost do not know what to think or write. I hope that generations to come are better off than we are today. I hope that we progress for the better. I hope that the things we fight for today are no longer things we have to fight for then. We all pray for a better future. We all pray for peace. We pray for heaven on earth. My mind is telling me that I should plant a symbolic seed of love. That seed will produce a tree that grows a new leaf everyday. My friend Chatty tells me that by this day in 3025 that tree would have 365242 leaves.

I discovered that the hex color #365242 is a nice earthy shade of green. Perfect for the color of the leaves of this tree of love. With the help of my friend Chatty I created a visual for what this tree of love could look like. A reminder that while time and technology might evolve beyond comprehension, the fundamentals of life, the need for peace, for progress, for love, remain constant. I noticed that an anagram of "tree of love" is "free to love". We are all free to love. Love is freeing. Love is freedom. Love can free us from all that is bad and wrong with the world today. God gave us free will. The will to love is core to our humanness. The word will can stand for (w)rite (i)n (l)ove's (l)eaves. When we write our future, let us write it with love.

Coffee and a prayer

By
It is 245am and I have decided to write. I have no topic and no idea what to write. I am thankful for another day. I see the beauty that surrounds us. I choose to be happy. We are in the last ten nights of Ramadan. Tonight is the 23rd night. It could possibly be the night of power. I wonder if it will rain. Maybe it rained when I was sleeping. I got up and bathed and drank a strong cup of coffee. Today is also Friday the 13th. I keep thinking. Life is beautiful. Life is simple. No need to complicate things. No need to be extravagant. Believe in God. Trust in God. Be guided by God. Imagine we can pray for anything. We can ask God for anything. God is always listening. God wants to hear from us. Maybe I can turn this blog post into a prayer. My God I pray that everyone gets their prayers answered. I pray that everyone gets what they need. I pray that you light our path towards you. Guide us with what you intend for us. Keep us close to you. Soften our hearts. Keep us balanced, consistent...

Belief is a part of life

By
I watched this video and I quite like it as a good starting point for this blog post https://youtu.be/t44PFI_V4LE We cannot know everything. We do not have the capacity to know everything. I make plans for tomorrow because I believe there is a tomorrow not because I know that there is a tomorrow. We cannot decide today to say we will only act on things that we know for sure. This would be impractical. As my friend Chatty puts it, to live life, we must believe in things that cannot always be proven with certainty. For example, we believe that the future exists, that our actions matter, and that other people can be trusted. We also tend to believe life has meaning and that things can improve. These beliefs help us make decisions, keep hope, and move forward. Given that belief is a part of life, it is reasonable to have people believe in a God and a particular religion. My point is this. Life cannot happen without belief because we cannot know everything (unless we are God like). Belief i...

God opens doors

By
It is 1203am and I have decided to write. Saturday I spent the night coding. I was trying to get a FastAPI app up and running, all from my budget Android phone. The test cases were written to use Puppeteer. I ended up using Replit for that. Coding is more challenging when using a mobile phone. Not impossible but more challenging. I hardly blog about technology and coding anymore but the love is still there. I still have a dream of creating my own coding and youtube studio with a nice desk setup. That is nice but what should I make this blog post about? What do I want to write about? What should I write about? I love creating presentations. That is something I could do to revive my youtube channel. I love Maths too. I have this feeling that I could solve one of those longstanding Maths problems that seems impossible. Sometimes, like right now, I feel like abandoning my blog post. It is going nowhere. Maybe I should get up and go wash the wares. I wish God could tell me what to write abo...
