"HEART OF INFINITY"
Remember a poem I wrote while walking towards the Bái Đính Pagoda, in Ninh Bình, Vietnam.
"From this perspective
Infinity is just a dot".
It references the novel Flatland by Edwin Abbott, 1884. My teacher of social studies told us that, in that novel, a woman was a line, and she should constantly shout "here I come" so others don't get mistakenly stabbed due to seeing her as a dot.
I thought that precisely at the center of the pagoda, facing up to the zenith, the projection of that point created an infinite line.
Now, here I am, ten years later, I watched another episode of Black Mirror, just one day after 'Love & Other Drugs': if I lived a moment with so much intensity, it was worth a life. The gratitude of knowing Non-Euclidean Geometry: Infinite number of lines crossing us to a point in our lives. I received a massage by a blind person today. I can't help it:
