Sometimes things just resonate and it feels good.

 

That's actually a very literal truth thanks to particle-wave duality. The work I do could explain how to look at half the universe as wave-like and magical. Although we think of radio-waves as mechanical, they are more magical than mechanical, as is gravity. Resonance is accompanied by novelty, which is the particle-like expression randomly hitting the target. We think of the world around us as very deterministic, but that is the simplest way to look at it that makes a lot of sense, because novelty rules the universe, which resembles the big bang still expanding to this day.

 

I feel you are right. I'm always looking out for the right things, they feel like keys. Finding the word or story or idea that fits.. that feels like the next stepping stone, or the right thing to say to someone else.
