“The Tau of Steves: What You Don’t Know Could Fill a Book”
Summer
June 2019
“5” Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “Little thoughts come and go. Write them down; record them somehow.” Aries
Slim pickings today, on June 2nd in the TauBit patch. What’s that old wive’s tale? “Quality over quantity,” or some such?
Random ones that make me want change my sign.
You’d be justified if you figured that I felt desperate enough to fill in the blanks with Holiday Tau from McQueen and Aoki, right? Who knew Day 43 of My 1-Year Experiment would be so lame?
Well, actually the first Steve’s turns out to be a description of how an associative thinker flits from one moment to another and has to write thoughts down for later use. But accumulate enough of those written on scraps of paper and in spiral notebooks by hand and you’ve created a monster.
How do you find the passage just when you need it?
Here’s what I was forced to do:
“‘Transience, novelty and diversity stretch and mutate our limits of adaptability.’
From my journal: Triangle 339 (a sketch a triangle with the page number 339 in the middle)
‘As the transience index, or rate of turnover of things, places, people, organizations, and informational relationships spurts upwards, we are simultaneously the most free and lost.‘”
“5” Steve McQueen (1930 – 1980): “Little thoughts come and go. Write them down; record them somehow.” Aries
Turns out I’ll trade the Holiday Tau for these two Steves for any weak TauBit meant for Zahn, Winkler, Emma the Baroness and me any day of the week. Check out this passage, one of three steps for making the best decision you can before you move to that little Colorado mountain town your dreams.
“5” Steve Aoki, 41: “Just because you can see trouble ahead where others can’t that doesn’t make you a pessimist.” Sagittarius
