The scientist does not study nature because it is useful;
he studies it because he delights in it,
and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
If nature were not beautiful,
it would not be worth knowing,
and if nature were not worth knowing,
life would not be worth living.
(Jules Henri Poincare)
and he delights in it because it is beautiful.
If nature were not beautiful,
it would not be worth knowing,
and if nature were not worth knowing,
life would not be worth living.

Nature abhors gradients?
it also loves them
it first builds
and then rides them
(A reply to the theme of the book Into The Cool by Schneider and Sagan)

The force
Luke: Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda: No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Luke: But how am I to know the good side from the bad?
Yoda: You will know... when you are calm, at peace, passive. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

The North Wind Doth Blow
And we shall have snow,
And what will poor robin do then?
Poor thing!
He'll sit in a barn,
And keep himself warm,
And hide his head under his wing.
Poor thing!
(An anon nursery rhyme)

The mind is like muscle
action tightens
anti-action relaxes
non-action prepares
in the rhythm of the owner

Causality reflects anti-causality
and locality reflects universality
at non-causality and non-locality
the mirror of nothingness
at non-causality and non-locality
the mirror of nothingness
