I’ve moved the May pictorial articles onto separate pages so that slower modems don’t
have to deal with the entire month’s images at once.

While solving my Rubik’s Cube, I reached a point where I could see the toy
with my eyes closed. I could rotate the colored patterns and maintain the relationships
in three dimensions while I was falling asleep. The next day when I had the object in my hands,
I could use what I had learned to come closer to solving the puzzle.
When I played the game of Go perhaps six times a week for half a year, I reached
a point where I could play the black and white stones with my eyes closed as I fell asleep.
While reading science fiction, I saw the word patterns as chains of Go stones, and
calculated where I would move next to prevent each paragraph’s opponent from forming eye structures.
Last night I reached the point where I could see Gabriel’s mouth with my
eyes closed as I fell asleep. I was able to see him pucker, or smile, or root, and
try to identify his mood by the angle of his mouth, the tension of his lips.
This puzzle is the most fun of all.
