Chalk and Writing


When I started going to school in the mid-80s, my teachers used pieces of chalk a lot. For us students, they symbolized authority and knowledge. Authority is thrust upon the teachers because of their educational attainment and age. They were the only ones who handled pieces of chalk to write on the blackboard. It was pure joy for us whenever we were called to participate in class by writing on the board. Our teachers also symbolized knowledge for it appeared that they had answers to all of our questions, answers that were continuously written with a piece of chalk.

Constant Change


Delta pi, constant change. In a world that is changing at an unprecedented phase, some things remain the same. These notions have been present even before humanity existed on this planet. Going against them proves catastrophic on the part of human civilization. What is needed is to know these constants and be in harmony with them. Humanity does not own the planet; the planet owns humanity. Humanity is the dominant species, but it is not the only species. Perhaps, sometime in the future, humanity will learn how to truly respect and care for the only planet on which he exists.

Pi is a constant number. It is unchangeable. Regardless of the size of a circle, its measurement is still the same. A circle is a complete figure in itself with all points equally radiating from a common center. Whatever is the center of our humanity, we radiate certain qualities that may be measured. There are human qualities that are changeable. But there are some that also have to be constant. Pi, circle, constancy. What is constant in life may be measured, albeit, in varied instances. A part of the circle of existence. I am pi; I am constant. Pi, Pulido.

Delta denotes change. Changes happen every second. What I was when I woke up this morning is not the same as I am now. Every second makes me a different person. Every cell in the body, billions of cells, inevitably transforms one way or another. Every thought, faster than light, finds its way across the universe. Delta, change. It is difficult to calculate how much change any person may experience or may undergo. The human capacity for adaption is immeasurable. Perhaps this has equipped him to be the master of this planet. I am delta; I am change. Delta, Dennis.
