Someone died today... someone I don't know a great deal... a fellow scientist, a fellow string theorist, a person who was a student of my supervisor... a person who was less than ten years older than me...
the solar eclipse was meant to be doomsday according to some astrologers... the world is safe for most of us... some though are not so lucky.
as an atheist, I do not believe in souls and afterlives.. but if I am wrong, ..... may your soul rest in peace.

All that you touch
All that you see
All that you taste
All you feel.
All that you love
All that you hate
All you distrust
All you save.
All that you give
All that you deal
All that you buy,
Beg, borrow or steal.
All you create
All you destroy
All that you do
All that you say.
All that you eat
And everyone you meet
All that you slight
And everyone you fight.
All that is now
All that is gone
All thats to come
And everything under the sun is in tune
But the sun is eclipsed by the moon.
