A couple papers came out more than a week ago,
expressing that certain astronomical phenomena,
black holes in this case,
could be expressed accurately by projecting the universe as a hologram...
By my lay sense, by taking the integral of space and time and looking in from the outside were we finally able to make sense of gravitational muckery.

You can do this with your life too!
Compress it, from end to end,
into one tasty pancake of a thing. Think: your entire life expressed as a beautiful arc of lightning from baby to ybab...
such that you cannot remember all the times you cried without remembering all the times you lived,
all the times you laughed without all the times you gave,
all the times you could not get out of bed without all the times you enjoyed the clouds,
and all the times you felt powerless without all the times you felt real, vibrant, rainbow love.

Ah! To laugh and cry from the heart at the same time, to be devastated by the tranquility of: yes, our lives really are long, filled with the age of time when taken in one read. Let us continue on then, to forget the past and set sail, knowing that our volume is safe.
