“When it repudiates a past paradigm, a scientific community simultaneously renounces, as a fit subject for professional scrutiny, most of the books and articles in which that paradigm had been embodied. Scientific education makes use of no equivalent for the art museum or the library of classics, and the result is a sometimes drastic distortion in the scientist's perception of his discipline's past. More than the practitioners of other creative fields, he comes to see it as leading in a straight line to the discipline's present vantage. In short, he comes to see it as progress. No alternative is available to him while he remains in the field.”

“When it’s freezing out, I catch myself daydreaming…
I imagine owning a tiny café somewhere warm and beachy.
Nothing fancy… just beautiful simplicity… open mornings only… a few tables… some coffee, tea, and the familiar faces of family, friends, and neighbors drifting in for conversation, laughter, and a little moment of peace before the day pulls us into whatever comes next.
It’s a simple dream… but you know how I feel about simplicity… it’s magical. It feels good.
It feels good because there’s something powerful about keeping a small circle of soul-enriching people close.
It feels good because there’s something comforting about starting the day with simplicity instead of noise.
Life moves fast.
But in this simple daydream of mine, I’m reminded that I don’t need much to feel grounded…
Just warmth, presence, and a community environment that feels uplifting for my soul and my health.
It’s funny how the smallest visions can make the world feel lighter.
Here’s to daydreams… and slowly, quietly, steadily bringing pieces of them to life.
Cheers to mornings that feel like a gentle reset…
A reminder that the best parts of life... the real ones... are often the simplest.”

“When it's my time to go,
I will not go to the bright place above,
Nor the dark place below.

With hoof and tail and feathers.
And sometimes, wings.
They are the ones who love.”
“When it’s my turn, I fill my plate with rice, shami kabob, lentils, and butter chicken, skipping the cauliflower and salad, and pile the naan high before carefully carrying it downstairs to the basement. Rabiya, Yusuf, and the other kids are already camped in front of the TV with their food.
Mustafa joins a few minutes later, plopping down on our beat-up leather sofa next to Yusuf.
“There’s nothing good on,” Yusuf announces after flipping through all the channels.
“Isn’t there a basketball game?” Mustafa asks.
“Nooo!” Rabiya whines.
“I want SpongeBob,” a little boy named Jamal says, chewing on a piece of naan.
“How about we tell scary stories?” Yusuf suggests.
“No way,” Rabiya refuses. “Last time I had nightmares for days.”
I agree. Yusuf tells the scariest stories ever. The worst one was about severed hands of bodies that were dug up from graves. The hands came to life and would tickle people to death. I still think about that whenever we pass a graveyard.”

“When it's over, I want to say: all my life
I was a bride married to amazement.
I was the bridegroom, taking the world into my arms.
When it's over, I don't want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don't want to find myself sighing and frightened,
or full of argument.
I don't want to end up simply having visited this world.”

“When it’s said that quantum mechanics is ‘weird’, or that nobody understands it, the image tends to invite the analogy of a peculiar person whose behaviour and motives defy obvious explanation. But this is too glib. It’s not so much understanding or even intuition that quantum mechanics defies, but our sense of logic itself. Sure, it’s hard to intuit what it means for objects to travel along two paths at once, or to have their properties partly situated some place other than the object itself, and so on. But these are just attempts to express in everyday words a state of affairs that defeats the capabilities of language. Our language is designed to reflect the logic we’re familiar with, but that logic won’t work for quantum mechanics.”
