Time was partly conception. Time was partly a thing in the mind. Just as events. [...] Cities had risen on deserts. Cities had fallen. Civilizations had flourished, then ended. Then new civilizations emerged. Nothing was lasting, nothing was permanent. Living creatures, beings with minds, were the most fleeting of all. They came and went, came and went, came and went, billions upon billions of lives, each quick as one breath.

Starting this one today. I loved “Einstein‘s Dreams”, so excited to see how he handles the subject of God.
A selection of blue books for #somethingforsept today. Blue is my favorite color, so I've loved seeing people's posts today!
pickI love this slight volume from Alan Lightman. All the science, all the beautiful fancy, all the feels. This book had a profound impact on me. Also, it's the perfect-sized "little black book" to give as a gift. So read and gift away!
