1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1. Did we end on your 1 . Whoa, you divided 16 into 3 equal parts. Did you know you could do that . Im dizzy. Okay. Well, we are going to end with a t high within a t high like a wheel that goes around and around and around. I want you to figure out there is a multiplecasion problem in here and i want you to see if you can tell us when we are done what it is. Something will repeat 3 times. [applause] okay. Which one of you figured it out . Yes. 49, hum. I can see how you would say that, why do you say that . There is 49 of something. Okay. Did you notice the turns . The spins . How many were there in one piece . Yes. No. Yes. 9. How many times did we repeat that . How many times . 3. 9 times 3 is 27. We did 27 turns but we were going, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2, 1. Thats a sophisticated math concept, you were not wrong. I bet you will grow up to be a mathematician. I will give you my address you will have to send me your first paycheck because i taught you this. At thi
And the king and to all of you this is taught. [applause] so, did anybody hear math . Anybody hear any math . Yes. I thought the 1, 2, 3, 4 pattern. Good. Thats counting in hindu. You know how to count to 4. See. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Pause. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Pause. Thats a rhythmic pattern that repeats itself 3 times about did you know we are doing multicasion and dividing up here . You didnt. So, this music we are dancing on is rhythmicly complicated the underline rhythmic does not go in a Straight Line. It goes if a cycle beginning on 1 and ending on 1. We are dancing on a 16 beat cycle. You can count to 16. Why dont you keep the cycle and we will put a high on top of that. Count with one and you can clap. 13, 14, 15, 16, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Did you know what you just did . You divided 16 into 3 equal parts. I bet you didnt think that was possible i know a physicist that didnt th

I dont know if we want to open it you will for questions. May be just a few . Okay. Yes. Whats

I come to you from out of the desert. Im coming to you from a landscape where once you get an eye for things, 3 grains of sand out of place draw your attention, where everything is brought to bear, where everything is
Thats why im here. Because im looking for stories. Im looking for these same kinds of stories that i find in the desert. I came to hear straight from Grace Cathedral today where i walked into the cathedral and i took off my shoes and walked on the maze thats right in the front, in the center. And i dont know if youve ever been to this place. You have to stop in and walk this maze because it is very much like what its like to be out in the desert. Where you start walking along and you see where you are going eventually. You see the center spot and you know where you are going to be, except you are going away from it and then toward it and then away from it and all the way around it and then away from it again and back toward it. Thats what its like walking out in the desert in the deep cliffs, in the dunes where you want to go there but theres not a route from here to there. If you had a gps it wouldnt really work because it would point a Straight Line from here to there because theres
