Inadvertently found some of Jim Bachor's mosiac work to my great delight. Found on the corner of Van Buren and Michigan, near the Fine Arts Building. "Here lies a pothole 2005-2024"

Fine mosiac work (like you'd see in a fine old building) filling in a sidewalk pothole.

The epitaph in the middle of the mosiac: Here lies a pothole 2005-2024

I didn’t mean for them to go anywhere. Life and responsibilities interfered.

This book review hints at a mathematical approach outside the Einsteinian construct, because E=mc2 is clearly way too restrictive.

"The Old Wisdom"

~Jane Goodall

THE OLD WISDOM ( By Jane Goodall)
When the night wind makes the pine trees creak And the pale clouds glide across the dark sky, Go out my child, go out and seek Your soul: The Eternal I.
For all the grasses rustling at your feet And every flaming star that glitters high
Above you, close up and meet In you: The Eternal I.
Yes, my child, go out into the world; walk slow And silent, comprehending all, and by and by Your soul, the Universe, will know
Itself: the Eternal I.

Doc Savage book reviews can be both delightfully unexpected and totally unintentional.
