Everything You Know is Wrong...

I'm still trying to get through a biography about Einstein.
I'll get there - I will. Even though I've had to renew it, for a total of 4 weeks so far, I'm going to finish it.

As I listened today (the book is on CD,) about his discussions with Bourne (sp?) and how he couldn't accept the fact that some laws of nature were absolute, and some seem to be completely random and unmeasurable. His constant answer/question was "God does not play dice."
He always believed that there was some secret law that hadn't been discovered yet - and struggled to find it.

I love knowing that he believed that there was a God who created the universe, and that He did it in an orderly manner, creating laws that governed all of it's movements.

It makes me wonder at a young person who can be so passionate at uncovering each and every law, while I, on the other hand, have always been content just to wonder at it and admire it's vastness and beauty.

The passion for me has always been to try to capture moments of wonder or beauty in and somehow freeze them in time. (Not even close yet.)

I'm such a dreamer. Ha!

I'm not feeling well today, so I snuggled into my cozy couch to listen.

I have a love/hate relationship with my couch.

I purchased it on a whim (which is never a good idea!) ...and have rued the day ever since. There are lots of reasons why I don't like it - some practical, some just emotional, but the fact remains - it just wasn't what I was looking for.

On the other hand, it is SO comfortable.

The seat is deep, because of the many cushions along the back - and if I remove just one of those pillows, I can snuggle back into it, and just by the massive size of the thing, I can feel like a child again, snuggled into a loving parent's lap.
I feel cozy and safe - and oddly enough, even loved. Such is the magic of my couch.
(I think it's the down in the cushions...)

Tired or not, today is a work day, and one can't wallow on downy cushions forever.
Bills must be paid, money must be made,
...and something must be done with this wild mane of hair. (Just because I'm learning about Einstein doesn't mean I want to resemble him.)

Happy Autumn Solstice - picture me dancing under the full moon tonight.
I may not be there in body, but I will be there in spirit.
