Cosmic Focus

Sometimes It actually takes one's breath away.

A quiet night of cosmic pondering brings many of the same gifts, though more quietly. As Karl Sandberg said of fog, such pondering "creeps in on cat paws" and infuses the mind. It's lovely.

I can ponder the theories of lightspeed in my library -- I enjoy doing so. In contrast, nonetheless, I can feel lightspeed when I ride.
