Any great work of art revives and readapts time and space, and the measure of its success is the extent to which it makes you an inhabitant of that world — the extent to which it invites you in and lets you breathe its strange, special air.

There must have been a moment, at the beginning, were we could have said — no. But somehow we missed it.
— Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead -
My eye caught a dark form lying on the river bottom. It took me a few moments to comprehend what I had stumbled upon. Lying peacefully in the shallow waters of the river, only a few meters from shore, was a full-grown cougar. The contrast between the serenity of the scene I was witnessing and what must have played out here in the cougar’s final moments made me shiver. It was the first shiver of many, as I stripped down and waded out into the icy water to get this shot. x

I don’t generally post TV advertising however I often see this one on screen and can’t help but watch it

- A: How much is 2 + 2 x 0?
- B: Uhm... I'm not sure. I guess 0?
- A: It's 2! Ha-ha, you don't know math!
- B: I can infer by what you say, that there is a mathematical convention that I didn't know, which defines a preset order of operations in the absence of parentheses. However, although it is important to master such details, I believe the essence of mathematics is not convention, but proof. To understand mathematics one must master precise definitions of the concepts which make up mathematical propositions, and engage in demonstrative reasoning to obtain new and interesting propositions. Moreover, in a deeper and more personal sense, mathematics is about using those propositions to understand the objects that make up an abstract realm, full of chaos and complexity, full of breathtaking beauty and the horror of being in presence of something eternal, infinitely greater than oneself. So, yeah, 2 + 2 x 0= 2. Sorry about that.
