Love taught me to die with dignity that I might come forth anew in splendor. Born once of flesh, then again of fire, I was reborn a third time to the sound of my name humming haikus in heaven’s mouth. ↗

Physics is really nothing more than a search for ultimate simplicity, but so far all we have is a kind of elegant messiness. ↗
