HIGGS BOSON

When matter decays ... there you are! 'You boson!'

Its celebration time in the nerdland, particle physicists are over the moon because they found it, the theorists are feeling god like as they predicted it. 

Poem

I have been reading Rainer Marie Rilke .... "A Walk" My eyes already touch the sunny hill, going far ahead of the road I have begun. So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp; it has its inner light, even from a distance — and changes us, even if we do not reach it, into something else, which, hardly sensing it, we already are; a gesture waves us on, answering our own wave ... but what we feel is the wind in our faces. “”"The Walk" by Rainer Maria Rilke (1924) Translated by Robert Bly It is beautiful

Pain

Melodramatically titled post?
Not sure- I've been thinking about pain andI keep seeing my sister's face.

I remember when she first mentioned, the abdominal cramp and pain - immediately after eating. That day after breakfast - she had to lie down trying to cope with the pain...

I was badgering her to go to a GP to check out the problem - she said she would. I think she delayed going to the doctor for more than a month.

I remember - how she lookedon 13 Jan - trying to reach out to each of us who visited her. her right hand extending - gaze clouded by drugs and filled with pain and fear!

She was afraid and in pain and I could only mumble silly things like - don't worry chechi, it'll get better, we'll go home soon...

We took her home on 15 Jan - somehow that was not a journey I imagined... pain on everyones faces - my brother-in-law, my nieces, my parents.

I saw her in my dream yesterday - pain etched face, trying to touch me.

What happens when...

As mentioned earlier - has been a hectic 2 months - body and brain have temporarily shutdown - I was thinking the word 'over' the other day and few words kept popping up - overworked, overwhelming, overused, overreach... I think I'd do well in scrabble if someone gave me an 'er'word!'

Down with throat infection and doctor advised strongly for 'voice rest.' Hence I type away. Took the day off from work yesterday and got a snide remark from boss for that! REALLY - people take a chill pill!

That apart I have read enough political commentaries and economy reports - decided I would look at other generes for a change- SO!

I have been reading and reading - ... the chosen genere has been erotica - it has turned out to be VERY interesting! :)

I am checking out few more authors - it will be interesting to see what they have to say!

Life's OK!
