Come Fairies, take me out of this dull world, for I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame! ~ William Butler Yeats

Three Questions, March 17, 2025

You can find the background to The Three Questions in my recent post about it. I’ll be answering the questions each day for the next year and putting this experience into a book. Here we go!

What was the most beautiful thing I encountered today?

I saw a really amazing image of a weather phenomenon that I’ve never been fortunate enough to see in person but which fascinates and amazes me. The phenomenon are sprites, they look like giant clouds that have turned into ethereal jellyfish.

What did I learn today?

Today I read a really interesting article. Researchers claim that, under controlled conditions, they were able to take two people in a lucid dream state and have them pass a message, between dreams non-verbally. There’s a lot of skepticism, but if this is reproducible, it’s huge.

What made me happy today?

Honestly it was a simple thing, on a day where the weather was a bit off, I was really not excited to get up and go to work and my knees hurt, I made a lovely spicy dinner of chicken and broccoli, and afterwards had a small York Peppermint patty and it was magnificent. One of those small perfect taste moments where something absolutely hit the spot.
