Silence

Life death and the sleepless interstices within, long peaceful nights of wonder; restive isolation. The void engulfs all that lies in it; no - all that it is, like sparkling rain drops that create small waves, small waves that meet, hop, and then make way, for stillness of the lake - deep blue it rests, perseveres. The vignettes that the clouds paint, myths and mist mingle, ally, cry, make merry, and then give way, to the lingering sky - its deep blue drapes, curtains.

An Ode to Jon

" Jon the Lord" of our quantum gang, the finest BS detector since the Big Bang. May we be audience to many more of your tales, Tales of "gremlins" and "English - Von Neumann" Tales of "demons" and the "theft of Shannon". Be wary before you bet our ship's Captain Kirk, On "Supremacy" or topological computers that won't work, Before Neven came Dowling and Jon shall beat John, for on all matters that are "QUBIT" he is the big Don. Your warmth and wisdom keeps us on the run, without the pun-master where is the fun? In this new family far-far away from home, Under your caring shadow newer terrains we roam. With hope that our journey has just seen its dawn, We wish you a very Happy Birthday Dear Jon .

Guardian and father figure to many students like me. In hi
