…
Pi Day.
Einstein’s birthday.
Stephen Hawking’s death.
3.14 does seem mystical!
One of Hawking’s quotes that seems appropriate today:
“The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.”
The world seems a more wondrous place when one considers irrational numbers like Pi or imaginary numbers like i (my personal favorite)…as well as amazing individuals like Einstein and Hawking.
R.I.P. Stephen…
Your post, wonderful for its acknowledgement of Hawking, reminds me of Robert Frost’s poem “The Secret.”
We dance round in a ring and suppose,
But the Secret sits in the middle and knows.
