Natural Science

Walking along the rocky shore of Tod's Point in Greenwich, I suddenly remembered the lyrics to Rush's Natural Science:

"When the ebbing tide retreats along the rocky shoreline, it leaves a trail of tidal pools In a short-lived galaxy. Each microcosmic planet, a complete society."

"A simple kind mirror to reflect upon our own. All the busy little creatures chasing out their destinies. Living in their pools, they soon forget about the sea..."

"Wheels within wheels in a spiral array, a pattern so grand and complex, time after time we lose sight of the way, our causes can't see their effects."

"Wave after wave will flow with the tide, and bury the world as it does. Tide after tide will flow and recede, leaving life to go on as it was..."

And then I played frisbee....



And that's the end of my annual post.
