On Thanksgiving Day, this most wonderful of holidays, may I express my deep gratitude for:
- zodaical light, an elusive glow visible on the darkest of nights ...
- youth, in all its callow foolishness yet our future ...
- xenon, the noble (if not quite inert) gas ...
- waterfalls, from tiny trickles to thunderous cascades ...
- vibrato, especially in violin solos ...
- upside-downness, inversions, mirror-images, reversals, ...
- tangles, twists, torsions, tricks, & traps ...
- songs with stuttering (see MyG-g-g-generation now MyGeneration) ...
- rights, inalienable and otherwise ...
- quiet, calmness, solitude, peace ...
- paper, such a splendid medium ...
- obvious & oblivious, almost opposites ...
- neighbors & neighborhoods ...
- mathematics, forays into the deepest and simplest of realms ...
- libraries ...
- knights, knaves, knees, knowledge, and other silent leading letters
- jellies & jams, plus the jars they come in ...
- ideas & innovation ...
- holes, in donuts, semiconductors, and the fabric of spacetime ...
- Giuoco Piano, a sheep-clad chess opening misnamed the "quiet game" ...
- fire, first among tools ...
- evidence, clues, hints, suggestions, and leads ...
- duets, two-part inventions, counterpoint and harmony, two made one ...
- consciousness ...
- beautiful bountiful bouncy brown, uh, eyes (^_^) ...
- "All things counter, original, spare, strange; / Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?) / With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim ..." (Gerard Manley Hopkins, Pied Beauty)...
Tnx!
