age of achievement

what progress reaps

I remember those eruptions of song that used to ring outside at noon. Now is another time and I don’t know what it is. Now they offer the children to the machine, weighing their gains for jewels to adorn their crowns and they leave them there––the children, now silent.

I keep watch and listen, mostly in dark places.

    I’m not quite sure how to explain it, but this definitely resonates with me for some reason or another. 🤩

    1. Thank you for letting me know this, Tammy. I’m not sure I can explain it either so it helps to know that it lands : )

  2. thomasstigwikman – Dallas, Texas – My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.
