Attunement by Chris Crittenden
on a silent pond a bufflehead sparks to flight, sowing gleams in its wake. ribs blend without flaw, until it is clear that physics is a perfect harp. anything that moves strums it to play.
It just struck me how perfect the universe is. How surrounded we are by forces, motions, attractions, and other powers interacting in complex layers from the minuscule to the gigantic.
The laws never change. The dance is overwhelming. And when you add life to the mix. WOW!!!
"physics is a perfect harp": brilliant thought. Don't ducks have some great names.
