Oh, how nice to finish a quite hectic (for me) week with such beautiful words by Scott Edgar, Future is in Superposition!

I am sure lot of young people can appreciate them even more than I do πŸ‘‡

And I am also adding my wishes, for now:

You too, surrender
to water, for a little swim 🏊
then sleep
