Dear FISers,

Herewith my contribution to the "poetic intelligence" tangent we have entered.
It is in Spanish, from the great poet Antonio Machado:

Caminante, son tus huellas
el camino y nada más;
Caminante, no hay camino,
se hace camino al andar.
Al andar se hace el camino,
y al volver la vista atrás
se ve la senda que nunca
se ha de volver a pisar.
Caminante no hay camino
sino estelas en la mar.

One English translation could say:

“Wanderer, your footsteps are the road, and nothing more; wanderer, there is no road, the road is made by walking. By walking one makes the road, and upon glancing behind one sees the path that never will be trod again. Wanderer, there is no road-- Only wakes upon the sea."

I find it quite moving, and extremely complex on its meaning, quite "phenomenological" and deeply neurophilosophical. But above all, impressive.
Thanks are due to Chuan, Stan, Joseph, Francesco... et al.
best---Pedro

Caro Joseph e cari Tutti,
anche se rischio di essere bloccato o frainteso perché non ho voce linguistica di moda, nei numerosi interventi precedenti ho sottolineato l'importanza della parola composta emo-ra-zionalità, risultato della combinazione della "intelligenza emotiva" e della razionalità intellettuale. Nessuna descrizione non poetica della realtà può essere completa. Ilya Prigogine ha proposto di adottare nel campo della scienza il paradigma della musica. Henri Poincarè ritiene, talvolta, le equazioni o le funzione un "museo teratologico" ed i modelli paradigmatici una scelta "convenzionale" o di comodità o di utilità. In "Incontro d'amore del cuore della fede e dell'intelligenza della scienza" (Aracne editrice, Roma, 2014) ho sostenuto la necessità del dialogo tra fede, ragione e scienza. Albert Einstein afferma che ciò che si può contare (computare) non conta e ciò che conta non si può contare (computare). Secondo John D. Barrow che gli "aspetti eventuali" del mondo non si possono riconoscere o generare con una sequenza di passi logici. La bellezza, la semplicità, la verità sono tutte, in questo senso, "proprietà eventuali". Non c'è alcuna formula magica o nessun programma o nessuna equazione che può generare tutta la bellezza o tutta la bruttezza del mondo. Le mail che ho inviato il 10, 15 e 18 marzo (non solo quest'ultima) in modo telegrafico affrontano questa problematica, purtroppo, non sono state tenute in considerazione. Ciò mi dispiace, ma non mi spinge a trascurare i contributi di tutti Voi che ringrazio per quanto m'insegnate. Grazie e affettuosi saluti.
Francesco Rizzo.

    Dear Chuan, Rafael and All,

    There is a point in this exchange which perhaps should be
    addressed explicitly: everybody knows that people differ in their
    capacity to appreciate poetry emotionally. But we also differ in
    the capacity to appreciate the importance of poetry and art for
    science; this might be said to require an
    'intelligence' of poetry. Perhaps someone else can express better
    what I am trying to say here.

    Best wishes,

    Joseph

    P.S. Admirers of Basho's haiku are directed to his far superior
    one to which this is a Californian response:

    Warm cloudy day in Spring
    Perched on a fresh leafy branch
    A young tow-hee

        Dear Stanley N Salthe and All,

                 I am back to my duty from ten days hard work.
        Reliving from tired let me come back to the breakpoint –
        Stanley’s poem echo to Emily – and my draft reply as a new
        poem the same. I will finish and put out next mail – reply as
        another poem is “The Song of the Computer” and another poem
        on Internet. These two have send in our FIS years ago. And
        now “here a stay, and there a star”, now “ struggling to
        affect each other from our slowly burning bodies”, let us put
        these stars here again as a bunch of flower first.

                 Let this as my echo. We can image a Science fiction:
        long long after, there is a country, there  set such an law :
        if you have not replied an poet’s poem at once, if delay five
        days, you are evil. So let me use an old poem echo your poem
as soon as I finished my heavy work.
                 Thanks for you poem. That is nice!

More reply and the new later.
                 Best wishes,

Chuan

            Chuan, fis'rs

            Here is a poem I wrote a couple of years ago:

internet fellowship
                is like --

                    being in heaven?


            we’re

                 disembodied spirits

                      struggling to affect

                 each other.


            patterns of ‘on and off’ in the waves and wires

            like cells in an organism


             we’re disembodied spirits launched from our slowly
            burning bodies,

                   the fuel for our cognitions,

                        like charcoal for a flame


            maybe this is (what) heaven (is like)

                   launched upon the embers of hell.


            STAN

                *Dear FISers, *

                         These days I am doing a heavy and important
                work that I can not finish my respond mail. Though
                there are many ideas emerge in my mind.

                         Let me put a poem of Emily DIKINSON in our
dear discussion.
                *OUR SHARE OF NIGHT TO BEAR*

                Emily DIKINSON

                Our share of nights to hear –

                Our share of morning –

                Our blank in bliss to fill

                Our blank in scorning –

                Here a star, and there a star,

                Some lose their way!

                Here a mist, and there a mist,

                Afterwards – Day!

                                                        1890

                c.1859

                         For I thought of the image of “here is a
                star, and there is a star” and looked for this poem
                to share here. Let us shine and share.

                         Dear Joseph, I agree with the Stanislaw
                Lem’s opinion.

                         Yes, she is right: afterwards – Day!

                         Tomorrow is π-festival – March 14 - 3.14. I
                celebrated aπ-festival this afternoon. That is
                wonderful. And it is the birthday of Einstein the same.

                         Cheers!

                         Chuan
