The mathematician may be compared to a designer of garments, who is utterly oblivious of the creatures whom his garments may fit.

Then there is no end of surprise and delight.

As all nocturnal creatures, I have a tendency to wander about during the night, embracing and relishing in its mysteriousness, unexplained sounds, and thick aura of darkness. As a pianist I was drawn to compositions with the titles of Nocturne and Notturno - from Maria Szymanowska's Nocturne in B-flat to John Field and Frederic Chopin's Nocturnes. The night offers a myriad array of emotions from solace to absolute horror. I tried to infuse some of these terrifying thoughts, as well as solace that only night can bring into Night Soundings.

Gerard De Nerval
-
To become who we are as creatures made in the image and likeness of God, we have to be nothing and everything at once, since this is what God is. ...
