Thanksgiving opens the door to the Holiday Season as another year ends.
As we move into Thanksgiving Week, many will reflect on how difficult 2017 has been, at home and abroad. It's been a whiplash year of developments enough to awaken even the most spiritual person about the fate of reality. That which has been abused and hidden is now coming to the surface. Along with that, we find the predictable increase in all the things I've blogged about for over the past two decades from climate change, to natural disasters, to imploding paradigms in the human condition and more. Many American families will celebrate Thanksgiving in ways they never imagined one year ago and yet the human spirit will prevail yet with a different perspective on the flow of reality.
You are among the lucky people, if 2017 brought positive things to your life and to those you love and care about most. On the matter of how much people have become enlightened in 2017 - there were the usual healing and awakening events that go along with one's belief in their source of creation. For those heading out this weekend, for a week away with family and friends, travel safely. Travel conditions look good across the country. Once again I'll be in NJ with my children, grandchildren, and extended family. It's been a positive year for us and we all appreciate it.

Math at the Met - Amid the museum's 2 million works of art lie numerous mathematical curiosities Scientific American - November 16, 2017
The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City - known worldwide and hereinafter as "the Met" - is the largest art museum in the United States, and one of the ten largest in the world. Founded in 1870, it holds two million works of art, from antiquity to today, from all around the world. We propose here a guided tour of the Met's hidden math. The Met's collections include works of art with surprising mathematical content. These works span the globe, human history, and the Met's curatorial departments. They include numerals, shapes, perspective, astronomy, time, and games. (On a second tour, still in the planning stages, we hope to show you patterns, symmetries, and various mathematical activities.)
