This little box, with its diligent little beeps and hums, administers the terrible, potent materials that have been convincing my body to bend back to my will these last two months. Hopefully, it will have laid most concerns to rest in two more.
It is a testament not only to determination, and faith in the incredible possibility of the Universe, but to people, countless, unfamiliar individuals, who have spent countless hours of their lives peeling back the wallpaper of the Universe, and finding ways for us to survive its subtle, incredible, devastating inner-workings.
This little box means fatigue, heartburn, and hair loss, and therefore also optimism, joy, and hope.
To science, and faith, and the place they intersect to save and sustain us.
Teach your children how astounding they are.
