spiral.

Today, I'm going to combine 3 things that struggle against each other all the time: anime, philosophy and religion.

Don't worry. I mostly know what I'm doing.

There is a show, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (which I do not suggest to anyone under the age of 16. The show might have some cool insight, but it's still the Japanese being silly Japanese), that was written with a certain philosophical idea in mind. Once I knew what this idea was, I decided to research the idea even further, and I have come out of it with not only existential knowledge, but religious insight as well. I wish to write today about Spiral Dynamics.

I was walking down the street yesterday, staring at the ground as I normally do, and, again, I found another broken dragonfly laying in the middle of a driveway. This one had moss-green spots instead of blue ones. This dragonfly wasn't whole, like the one I had seen earlier that day; this one had half of a wing torn off, probably by a bird attempting to eat it.

I used the same shoe tactic. This guy cooperated much better than the other one, and seemed to accept the fact it could no longer survive. It clung to my shoe desperately, and I left him close to some bushes where he wouldn't be seen or stepped on.

mindless.

I was walking down to my English class this morning, which is in UVU's basement floor. I was staring idly at the patterns in the stairs, while keeping my head down to avoid eye contact with anyone in the halls. On the last step, the pattern was interrupted in the corner of my eye. I looked, adjusting my vision to focus on this discontinuation, and I still had trouble seeing what I was looking at, exactly.
