Island fever

Bob Iger with Jeff Noel, Disney Institute customer service speaker
Bob Iger asked for a photo with me.

If you live on an island…be a good and decent person.

And, be a fun person.

You’re on an island. Let’s assume you aren’t getting off the island. Ever.

When you mash up those two thoughts, you get the truth — i asked Bob for the pic.

Note: Bob was at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort (with our Board of Directors) and i was there too, leading a Custom Disney Institute engagement.

Named after a plane

Veterans Day text. Two days ago. Mitch is a High School classmate. His son, along with five others, was ambushed July 8, 2012. Cameron gave all that day.

Mitch and i were not close in High School. Our interests never connected us. But 4-5 decades later, with social media, you can find some ‘connection’.

Words shape how we see the world.

Words shape how we see ourselves.

Some words are too common to escape.

Some words are poison.

Some words are the cure.

Some words are ours to choose.

Some words are ours to trust and bank on.

Redwood the Legend

My same age cousin, Redwood, sent me this yesterday. He was apologizing for losing my number because something happened to his phone. He had to get a new one and he wasn’t on iCloud or whatever, so he had no backup for his contacts.

Before Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, i was an Osmond Brothers and Jackson 5 fan.

Thank you, Redwood, for those first two Rock and Roll albums you gave me at Christmas in 1972.

Led Zeppelin IV and Black Sabbath Paranoid exposed me to my favorite music genre.

59-second video: WordPress administration conversation. Try to stay awake. 🥳

Technically to be a Vlog, the general guideline is no text is required.

To walk or bicycle here is such a spirited privilege. Never gets old.

Time and space.

Invented?

Real?

Albert Einstein weighs in here.

Update March 21 (the day this published)…adding Einstein statement here in case the link above ever fails. Why? Because it’s easy. Not sure why i didn’t add it when this post was written seven months ago. Here’s Albert…

“I didn’t arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.”

“Concerning matter, we have been all wrong. What we have called matter is energy, whose vibration has been so lowered as to be perceptible to the senses. Matter is spirit reduced to point of visibility. There is no matter.”

“Time and space are not conditions in which we live, but modes by which we think. Physical concepts are free creations of the human mind, and are not, however it may seem, determined by the external world.”

“Time does not exist – we invented it. Time is what the clock says. The distinction between the past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.”

“I think 99 times and find nothing. I stop thinking, swim in silence, and the truth comes to me.”

“The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why.”

“A human being experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”

“Our separation from each other is an optical illusion.”
“When something vibrates, the electrons of the entire universe resonate with it. Everything is connected. The greatest tragedy of human existence is the illusion of separateness.”

(end Einstein’s riff)
