https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand_with_Reflecting_Sphere is the
better palm referencing image to contemplate per Blake's words.

Throw in "Green" and "Climate Change" then the psychologists will get
a healthier grant to study by.

Yes, we are bombarded by these youthful promising images of models at
such a high rate. The peak age is either 17 or 19, depending on sex.

Life's little momentos. Sorry, not feeling very talkative just now.
Caught up with old friends, at a birthday party, last night and they
were all concerned over the drastic changes the course of my life has
unexpectedly taken. I talked a mouthful! Likely won't get invited
again any time soon for going on and on and on...

That thought is discovered rather than invented or created.

Tom, as you know, I've been trying hard to share my work, can't even
give it away -- the needless resistance is palpable. Yet at every
turn, people keep projecting how physics is great... poetry is
great... ideas are what we live for... blah blah blah... then you
actually show them something and their silence drowns the
conversation. New ideas are great as long as they are not someone
else's, basically. Rarely, an alert human does rise out from the
abyss.
