like water for metaphor.

It's interesting how the past gets us to where we are. Every week, day, hour, minute, second constantly changing and shaping our lives before our eyes. Only most of us are barely able to recognize it. Even less able to appreciate the amazing way it changes us, even slightly

There's a strange concept in the philosophy of science called an "entelechy." An entelechy is something complex that emerges when you put a large number of simple objects together. Examine one molecule of water in a vacuum, and you'll be utterly bored by the lack of activity in your vacuum tube. Pour a bunch of molecules into a glass, and a new phenomenon crops up: a ring of ripples on the water's surface. Combine enough glasses of water in a big enough basin, and you'll end up with something entirely different: an ocean. Take the twenty-six letters of the English alphabet, lay them out in front of you, and you'll have a set of small squiggles, each of which evokes just one or two specific sounds. String a few million together in precisely the proper order, and you'll have the collected works of Shakespeare

I have told you that I love you, right?

I enjoy so much of your insight. I find myself looking forward to it (even if I don't agree with it sometimes.)

And I like that clipping a lot.
