Self-Taught

Yesterday I had to go to Boston by bus and back. Early in the morning I saw:

  • Four hawks
    Geese and ducks
    spring water falling from rocks
    A coyote moving like ginger
    through a yellow marsh

On the way home I started the Tao of Physics by Fritjof Capra for the third time and found it much easier going. Guess my consumption of popular physics is paying off. I finally understood that it is my mass, curving the space/time continuum, which is responsible for cats falling into my lap and draping themselves in an orbit around my desk.
