Вот и лето прошло, Словно и не бывало. На пригреве тепло. Только этого мало. Все, что сбыться могло, Мне, как лист пятипалый, Прямо в руки легло, Только этого мало. Понапрасну ни зло, Ни добро не пропало, Все горело светло, Только этого мало. Жизнь брала под крыло, Берегла и спасала, Мне и вправду везло. Только этого мало. Листьев не обожгло, Веток не обломало... День промыт, как стекло, Только этого мало. 1967 Арсений Тарковский

Mathematics: The Beautiful Language of the Universe.
Mathematics is more than just a set of vague equations and complex rules that you are required to memorize. Mathematics is the language of the Universe, and in learning this language, you are opening yourself up the core mechanisms by which the Cosmos operates. It is the same as traveling to a new land, and slowly picking up on the native language so that you may begin to learn from them. This mathematical endeavor is what allows us, a species bound to our Solar System, to explore the depths of the Universe. As of now, there simply is no way for us to travel to the center of our galaxy and observe the super massive black hole there to visually confirm its existence. There is no way for us to venture out into a Dark Nebula and watch in real time a star being born. Yet, through mathematics, we are able to understand how these things exist and work. When you set about to learn math, you are not only expanding your mind, but you are connecting with the Universe on a fundamental level. You can, from your desk, explore the awesome physics at the event horizon of a black hole, or bear witness to the destructive fury behind a supernova. The grand story of the Universe is written in mathematics, and our ability to translate those numbers into the events that we all love to learn about is nothing short of amazing. So remember, when you are presented with the opportunity to learn math, accept every bit of it because math connects us to the Stars.

Listeners, listeners out there, listeners out in the vacant night clinging to my voice as a simulacrum of companionship, remember: fear is just consciousness, plus life. Regret is an attempt to avoid what has already happened. Toast is bread, held under direct heat until crisp. The present tense of regret is indecision. The future tense of fear is either comedy or tragedy. And the past tense of toast is toasted.

"At that moment," Iran said, "when I had the TV sound off, I was in a 382 mood; I had just
dialed it. So although I heard the emptiness intellectually, I didn't feel it. My first reaction
consisted of being grateful that we could afford a Penfield mood organ. But then I read how
unhealthy it was, sensing the absence of life, not just in this building but everywhere, and not
reacting — do you see? I guess you don't. But that used to be considered a sign of mental
illness; they called it 'absence of appropriate affect.' So I left the TV sound off and I sat down
at my mood organ and I experimented. And I finally found a setting for despair." Her dark,
pert face showed satisfaction, as if she had achieved something of worth. "So I put it on my
schedule for twice a month; I think that's a reasonable amount of time to feel hopeless about
everything, about staying here on Earth after everybody who's small has emigrated, don't you
think?"

My Mind to Me a Kingdom Is
My mind to me a kingdom is;
Such perfect joy therein I find
That it excels all other bliss
Which God or nature hath assign'd.
Though much I want that most would have,
Yet still my mind forbids to crave.
No princely port, nor wealthy store,
No force to win a victory,
No wily wit to salve a sore,
No shape to win a loving eye;
To none of these I yield as thrall,--
For why? my mind despise them all.
I see that plenty surfeit oft,
And hasty climbers soonest fall;
I see that such as are aloft
Mishap doth threaten most of all.
These get with toil and keep with fear;
Such cares my mind can never bear.
I press to bear no haughty sway,
I wish no more than may suffice,
I do no more than well I may,
Look, what I want my mind supplies.
Lo ! thus I triumph like a king,
My mind content with anything.
I laugh not at another's loss,
Nor grudge not at another's gain;
No worldly waves my mind can toss;
I brook that is another's bane.
I fear no foe, nor fawn on friend,
I loathe not life, nor dread mine end.
My wealth is health and perfect ease,
And conscience clear my chief defence;
I never seek by bribes to please,
Nor by desert to give offence.
Thus do I live, thus will I die,--
Would all did so as well as I!
Sir Edward Dyer

What though the radiance that was once so bright, be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
William Wordsworth
