   Is that a Dyson sphere?

   Yes. Especially as “elegant” is applied in math and science contexts.

   I wish I could track it down when I commented that a particular “Back in the Day” strip was elegant in its simple beauty. It was all curvy lines indicating the flight of a bird from panel to panel.

   “The Catholic Church has opened the cause for Day’s possible canonization, which was accepted by the Holy See for investigation. For that reason, the Church refers to her with the title of Servant of God.” [Wikipedia]

   I can see it happening, but not any time soon.

   A few years ago, I was gifted with a one week visit to Paris, France. Bear with me, as this little fact will play a part in the present account.

   The month before my trip, I attended one of our high school class reunions. It was all around a great experience, reconnecting with old friends and seriously reconciling with old rivals. The most melancholy moment was seeing the memorial display of photos of classmates who had died. In particular, one of my closest friends, one I had lost contact with was honored with a memorial photo. No one at the reunion was able to supply any information of his passing.

   A month later, I was in the great cathedral of Notre Dame. I am not Catholic… but have great respect for the church. I saw people lighting candles and dropping donations in a box near the candle display. I impulsively put in a small donation and lit a candle and thought of my friend and how I wished I could speak to him again.

   Long story shorter… once back home I got on the internet to try and find out details about him. What I found was that he was in fact not dead and had a fun website online!

   We have maintained a connection since then, and I often reflect on the strange experience of mourning a friend and later finding that the report of his demise had been incorrect… and the odd sense that I had lit a candle for him and against all expectation found him to be not only alive and well but amused at my story about a tiny little shout out to the universe for his well-being.

   I think I need to make a plan to visit him in Maine… from my present home in Georgia.

    Lawks a mussy. I almost hurt myself laughing.
