Timelessness by Peter Y. Chou (1993)

Timeless Genius Hour Assignment 2 in Project-Based Leaning is "Genius Hour"— began by Google for employees to spend 20% of their time on projects they're passionate about. This successful system is now used by teachers in classrooms to inspire students— engage them in activities beyond textbooks & homework handouts. "Hour" shown by a clock— tick tock, tick tock; "Genius" by light bulb inside human head— "Genius Hour" is somewhat incongruous— "Hour" implies the passage of temporal time, "Genius" is someone working outside the box, experiencing the eternal— living in the present "Now Moment"— Quotes from sages abiding in the eternal— Ramana: "The Self transcends time & space"; Wei Wu Wei: "Being eternal consists simply in Being"; Paul Brunton: "Eternal Now is infinitely timeless & timelessly infinite." Need an alarm clock to wake you up? Some Zen clocks will wake you gently. Haydn's Clock Symphony may make you sleep. Beethoven's Fifth will surely wake you up! Wrote poem awhile back on theme of time— "Why Watches Are Set to 10:09"— Cartier, Omega, Seiko, Tiffany watches all display it to show their brand name. Historians & artists have different views— Hands of a clock are wings of an angel— Hour cracks like an egg shell as numbers fall out— your spirit soaring beyond time.         Peter Y.
