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.

They didn’t laugh so perhaps we should be serious!

The facts of the matter are a workplace type of thing.

Doesn’t mean those facts, that they are not supremely interesting.

We do need a laugh, we think.

Too many items in the basket of absurdity.

We know the current popularity of the idea of truth being malleable like putty.

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.

Sleepily, waking slowly, reading wisely.

Not a bad way to see and feel the windows available to the day.

Later, donning a chef’s hat, we played cricket.

Probably imitation cricket, for we have no idea how the game really works.

Nobody needs to know how to play the game, yet everyone needs to know how to play!
