I haven't had a lot of opportunity this winter to get out and look for owls. I finally had a chance to do so today and was excited to find a Northern Hawk Owl! #wildlife #owls

I stared at the impossibly long number on the screen, unable to really comprehend it.

"It's worse when you consider that there's evidence to suggest the number in the computer overflowed. The real number could be orders of magnitude bigger."

"How long were we asleep then?"

"Maybe it's better that you see."

I looked out at a cosmos where I once remembered seeing stars and galaxies.

Attachment is an essential part of romantic love. The aim of the path is to transcend such attachments.

I think there is a mushy kind of attachment love and then there is a deep unconditional powerful love

Been awhile since I've gone to photograph Wood Ducks, will probably check out my old spot in the next few weeks.

I cannot forget
The perfumed dusk inside the
Tent of my black hair,
As we awoke to make love
After a long night of love.

Everyone assumes aliens will know higher math. So much so that some people think encoding the orders of the first 26 sporadic groups would be obvious. (IDK why this is better than a list of primes)

But would it, though?
We name the groups by their orders, and think it's neat that exactly 26 are special in this way, like the 5 platonic solids.

But couldn't you do a lot with math and never really focus on these facts? It's not free from culture. math has a culture.
