Ah, the turn of the y e a r, anticlimax of the holy days.
Dead of w in te r, eye o f n e w t, darkness mto dawn Of the
many pointed truths life serves up to those pay my

idea, that the forces o f nature are the rule of the geometry
of space/tim e To understand the unfoldmg of events, we
must firs t discover this geom etry, we must know, in other
words, the shape of the universe Although he was never
able to prove i t , Einstein believed the universe is a

Pluto is the furthest planet from the sun, its slow motion
through the zodiac triggering the spiritual Zeitgeist o f each
generation Uranus is the planet of eccentricity and
