One part of me looks at this image and sees a representation of expansion, surrender, gratitude...
The other part of me sees Godzilla vs Kong...
And so the lesson is actually a reminder:
Both things can be true.

Today I got to tell a friend that one of my current reads was "...a book of essays by my favorite physicist." Because that... happens to be a true statement in my world right now lol.
And this. This is one of the reasons why I adore Carlo Rovelli, his writings, and his insights, so very much.

Remembering with love, a person and poet who absolutely changed my life. Andrea Gibson's words and wisdom, passion and hope, were an inspiration, and a beautiful example, to so many. I have no words worthy enough of such greatness. Of such warm generosity of spirit. Of such raw vulnerability. (1/3)
