POOF Jeffrey (out of frame): Hi, Danae. Whatcha up to? Sign reads: No talking while in the sphere of serenity! Jeffrey: Oh. Sorry. Just as an F.Y.I., technically, that's a circle, not a sphere. Danae: The sphere of serenity doesn't like to be corrected. Jeffrey: Duly noted...

Edwin Abbott Abbott addressed this issue over 130 years ago. However, he would have had Danae drawn more like a stick figure.

And that sign was more effective because it wasn’t a square but a cube.

Oh Danae, what did you do? Or is Jeffery being ‘hard to get’ or frightening her. If he knows what he is doing; does she?‘booger brained’? What is its derivation?

it isn’t, technically, a circle. It has depth, so let’s call it a cylinder. The “Cylinder of Silence” has nice ring to it.

The circle is a representation of the sphere, as the sphere is a representation of the higher order serenity. Note that the circle is the minimum size of the sphere it dissects, it’s also on the Earth.

Danae is having a female moment. Someone should have warned Jeffrey.

Danae should be more careful. Meditating invites self-awareness, which can be even more painful than whatever you have inflicted on others. If you are doing it right. Jeffrey should also be more careful.
