2. You want to know how weird my life is through my lens.
I heard about 1:59 being the 'pi minute' on this forum, just as I got back from the fridge with a piece of pizza from last night, at 1:59

Double pie.

5. well it was from fridge to microwave, but didn't add that wasn't relevant.
Since this happens alot to me, and most of the time far more significant sequences, I have to add a comment

Many people feel that twist and turns that match up like that make life 'not free' or trapped in destiny.

I can say without doubt, some things match up, most beyond my immediate recognition. But at the same time, many I miss because I act in free will. And as I said long ago, I also add randomness by sometimes just doing things that I might not really feel like doing, and sometimes not doing things I think I probably should.

If that makes sense. It is true that the circumstances around me can be manipulated outside of my control, and most know that even thoughts can be influenced, the muse for writing and song is a good example. But even in that case it gets filtered out of ones own perspective, adding variance.

And I am always free to decide what I chose to think, and how I choose to act. Even if while doing some things, small parts of the larger action feel to have some orchestration. I also have pushed back successfully to not be what I do not want to be.

So those that feel it is all a trap, or 'are we human or just dancers' I know I have free will, even if it makes life more difficult from some POV's at times.

The side effect of this is learning 100s of false doctrines meant to break a person to hopelessness, each one discarded as a flaw of deception is found proving it false, many years, but I believe it to be the grace and power of God that keeps the focus on his love and kindness and not enslavement.

Here is an example, if this comment was repeated later today on TV, one might think that the comment was never part of my thought, but it could be a perception of another's future thought, or an influence of another's previous action. Although the purpose can be to try and lead to thoughts of destiny trap, or just proof that more exist then what can be understood without belief.

8. Pi
A History of Pi, Petr Beckman (Dorset Press)

A book that belongs on your bookshelf. Because the search for pi tracks our search for our place in the universe.

1 - 1/3 + 1/5 - 1/7 + 1/7 - 1/9 + ...
