and then I decided I was a lemon for a couple of weeks. - Douglas Adams

The Universe is an unsettlingly big place, a fact which for the sake of a quiet life most people tend to ignore. Many would happily move to somewhere rather smaller of their own devising, and this is what most beings in fact do.

Let the past hold on to itself and let the present move forward into the future.

The world is a thing of utter inordinate complexity and richness and strangeness that is absolutely awesome.
