(For the girl I lit the candles for)

For a barely competent student of science, I did enjoy learning physics although I struggled with the math equations behind the beautiful, elegant principles.  But once I put in the time and effort, the understanding of the world it opened up was immeasurable.

One of the concepts that intrigued me the most other than how baseballs could be made to move was time.  That book I used to take passages out to teach – Einstein’s Dreams captivated me because it presented alternate imaginations of his time worked.

In the linear dimension where we live, I still believe that time can be manipulated and harnessed.  Key decisions to act or not to act depending on timing impact a lot.  Stringing together combinations of actions and non-actions gives us infinite paths.  I loved using these concepts at work, it was truly fun and they often turned out well.

Recently, that saying – God’s timing is perfect – resonates and is comforting.  That first letter I did not send, I knew it wasn’t the right time.  This time it’s different.  And for what it’s worth, the close to 20 year gap between those letters makes a lot of difference.
