Just a little riff on a picture I once saw...
"I asked myself: what can I possibly write here that would be of interest in a decade's time?
"Certainly nothing involving scientific knowledge or technical observations: the AIs know more than me already.
"Also no book reviews: any works I comment upon will surely sediment in utter obscurity in just a few years.
"No comments, then, on contemporary political issues - those posturing tribal disputes will simply seem absurd.
"So this."
"I come into a room; she turns to face me with a look of such happiness - radiant, unpremeditated, with nothing held back.
"There was a time, once, when I was welcomed in just such a way."
