Pictures, Math, Life and Numbers

(math is)

Numbers are just ways

Of talking

About shapes without

Words

-seeing space without pictures-

And words are just things

We use to talk about pictures

Made with our eyes

Understood with our minds

-transcribed via math-

Through a fleshy computer

   without even knowing

   how to do math

things cross our paths

life unfolds relentless

And sounds are the ways

We use to make noises

Mean things called 'important'

in a moment

of a time

that there happens to be people in

into words

into thoughts

into feelings

intuition 

We see what we see

  beyond us

  inside

Outside

    Into a World

     A situation

That doesn't understand us

That we're more than, mathematics 

    Unfolding

    if only just barely

For a lifetime
Of shapes

Without words

In a space

Without pictures

It is what it is

if only just barely

(life is)

I heard once, that numbers are the key to the universe and our world is built upon the principles of mathematics, therefore if one can understand numbers, one can understand the universe.
Interesting perspective on things.
Though, words don't just describe pictures and what we can see..

[Davidgeo]

I think intuition is the thing words fail to describe in the pictures we see. So it must really suck for people with broken feelings (because that's basically what intuition is, "feelings")

[Andrew Nelson Stewart]

Loved the existing ideas throwing out it's own laudable foundations of truths to the elements of time how throughout time abstract point of the impossibility of grasping the actual world in the mind's net of words, concepts, and secondly loved the line " We see what we see beyond us inside Outside Into a World A situation That doesn't understand us." Combines the fact there is something that escapes both the comprehension of the philosopher and the grasp of the pleasure- seeker. Very thought provoking and Marcus Aurelius said once " You've seen that. Now look at this. Don't be disturbed. Uncomplicate yourself. Something happens to you. Good. It was meant for you by nature, woven into the pattern from the beginning. Life is short." That's all there is to say and keep writing sincerely your friend in poetry and life

I know I will never write about math as I couldn't pass college algebra. That fact damaged my college years and has made math and I enemies. But I understood we are more then mathematics unfolding. So without math I can still create with words.

true these are some of the secret ways for universe to come forward...inspiring words

[Pragati Chaudhary]

Math's is not a subject
It's actually an Art!

I don't even know where to begin with this one. Nothing bad. But I'm just left dumbfounded.

I can see why I can't understand the world as i sucked at math. Could never really get a grasp on mathematics in areas like algebra and the like. Excellent observation.

[Anne’sRants]

i love how you deconstructed the human experience into something as straightforward as numbers. its a direct contrast to the complexity of our thoughts which is just a different kind of math. too bad i was never any good at that subject. haha

Math and Life what a move on!
Loved it!

hmm, the ''world of numbers'' is a fascinating place to be...Funny, I recently watched a Vsauce video about the Banach-tarschi Paradox, and reading this made me think EXACTLY of it. Its interesting how a well defined thing can also be infinitely incomprehensible or rather out of reach at times (at least for me). It was nice stopping by ;)

I liked how it flew from math to life so smoothly. A good write.
