June 23rd – 1984-20?

Most times it isn’t like this. Early on maybe, but certainly not for many years. A phase maybe? Or more likely the “me and I am becoming”. Either way, as an engineer, the presentation of a matter of physics, on a subject that is so deeply and directly personal, has preoccupied my entire thought process throughout this weekend, and most particularity today. What doesn’t have enough force to escape just tends to ricochet about. Simple as that. It is but a hope that this short blurb will but allow me to focus elsewhere. There is much I need to do now. The past is as it is.

Believe it or not, a set of beautiful eyes, no doubt accompanying a similar soul, has provided me a perspective that has shined brighter within me than the brief visits from the sun that this weekend has provided. New friends are like that particularly within the happiness that is obvious between them and another. The suncatcher from another has had a similar impact. A phone call from another can be counted among these as well. I can already feel a slight bit of a change just thinking about each. Then again, maybe it is just the coffee that is talking.

It is appropriate that at 10:24 it is raining. The darkness and gloom compliment a time in the past so very well. Newton was so right that there was never any doubt in what was being stated in a small chapel so many years ago. Today it is the only thing I remember. Then? It was the very last thing I heard, as I immediately left the room. There is an absolute in physics that can so precisely and succinctly define a moment. Maybe even a life.
