Magnification

 Hi

I was talking with my coworker about getting lost in the details and losing the big picture. She brought up an example of a product that was being developed and failed. The reason was the leader of the team got lost in the details of aesthetics and even though the product had a good appearance, it was not able to deliver the right functionality as expected. Then we talked about how development builds momentum and everything must be thought of in every stage with less and more importance. 

For me, it is a great question of where to look in a system or a brand to be able to find the biggest picture that encompasses every aspect of the product. We are unable to understand every detail of a system that is built out of the collision of many minds and a long time completely with just a glance. It is something that is fundamentally bigger than one's mind. 

I was in the kitchen and I looked in the chocolate bowl and there was a bar of Aero chocolate in the bowl. I picked it up and there was a sentence written on it:

feel the bubbles melt

So I listened to the instruction and sat on my chair and put the chocolate in my mouth and waited for the feeling. This chocolate is not something to just feel the sweetness of it. There is a sequence of events happening while the chocolate is melting in your mouth and they unfold one after one another. The experience is waves of bubbles forming and melting and different shades of taste presenting themselves. 

With this experience, I think I got the picture that was encompassing what the designers were going for. Although I don't know about the materials and processes that were involved in the production of this product and many other factors like manufacturing and transportation and distribution, investment, and stakeholders. But what I see is the mind of the designer who wanted to show what a symphony of tastes would feel like in the mouth. And how to make it repeatable so many people can experience it in the second place.

Collision

 Hi,

Life, word

Only if I ever had time to sit,

and gather all my thoughts about,

what did I conclude about life,

It would be this moment,

Since my birth,

I cannot summarize life,

But I can understand the miniscule understanding of myself in my confrontation with time,

Well it is judgement, the first

And the response, next

Candle

 Hi

I was furious to see how time can move on

Like it wasn't already fast to go on

readily steady pace I thought it was

in reality it's a war between death and life

broken pieces have to melt together all at once

to be broken once again by the fire of your arm

so strong and delicate all at the same time

brittle but crystal of what I call mind

it seems like dreams are what we see in our thoughts

of the past or the future in the present time

to make sense of what wants to come or what went on

in a different wavelength of being that is more flexible than our time

best of luck to the ones who seem to know their path

their dreams will come true when they put enough effort to

but the ones who are looking for what to look

have to be a part in the system that is driven to a goal

gears and clutches, wires to carry the signals

wheels to spin, codes to run and bolts to be fastened on

to be made as a part of a whole which is moving on

like a pirate ship on the violent seas of days to come by

waking up everyday to see what the mistress of the sea wants to bring on

fighting the waves, going with the flow, and stepping away from the deck as we sail on

singing happy birthday to an idea to be born through our soul and mind
