Astronomologic ...

I was thinking about the word "Universe". "Uni" must mean "one", like unicycle, or unity. And then "verse" makes me think of a song or poem. So, being part of this universe is like we're all a part of this one complex and beautiful song, and everything that is working within it has rhythm and purpose in one vast sonorous symphony.

Note: I was not drunk when I wrote this. But I was a bit tired.

Dragon Fly

Today a brilliant green dragonfly with a wingspan larger than my hand flew into our lab. We were harvesting pots of switchgrass and the doors were wide open since one person was running in and out with the plants she was rinsing the soil from. He came in and hovered a bit around our pots of switchgrass, no doubt wondering why things seemed so familiar and prairie-like but also so strange and lab-like. Then he came around the chest freezer and hovered on the other side of this cage-like partition, right at my knees, just so I could have a really nice look at him, before he ascended out of sight.

I am pretty sure Jason sent him, on his way out of town to Michigan for 9 days for work. Thank you, love!
