The god of speed came down the hill and asked us to meditate.

The god of food came down the hill and asked us to drink broth.

A rocky road, a wonderful world.

Sending signals with puffs of smoke, birthday balloons and floating feathers, we hoped everyone would come to our celebration.

We were celebrating it being two days after the day we last celebrated. The days in between were good, but when a couple of days pass we get hungry for more.

Then, well sometimes, we enjoy the calm of a week or two and perhaps a couple of months of near-silence.

Time to enjoy every atom that moves around us.

It’s so, then, really time to get familiar with particles and how they interact.

Our new system will help us all to laugh and strategize, sometimes at the same time.

Wonders really do “never cease”.

And at the same time some things we have yet to discover will be right.

Intelligence needs a helping hand.

I see stars swinging from long threads and neural networks available by the kilo.

We are changing by improving.

The next priority is humanity and humane kindness.

This does not preclude competing, winning and establishing.

We can be miraculously good while spectacularly successful.

Come on, let’s try! It can be done.
