Some feel that a scientific view of the world is sterile,
lacking beauty and magic. When I see a
sunset, a hummingbird hovering before his floral feast, or the buds unfolding
in spring, I am always enamored of the complexity behind the visual beauty. Knowing that each is the
culmination of an elegant interplay of events, built of particles and energy,
each behaving precisely as explained through mathematics, gives an intellectual
texture to the view that involves my senses all the more. I love science. I understand some of what I see and enjoy any
chance to increase my understanding of the workings of the world,
whether miniscule at the particle level, or the broader patterns of behavior
and action that are compiled from those components. The mind itself is one of our senses. Understanding brings richness to any
experience.
