Ephemeral
Today I was leafing through Shona's PhD thesis and saw that its pages had marks of some spilled liquid. They had become crumbly.....and a thought came to my mind - Once what was so precious has now lost its charm, but what remains is the experiences and memories.....it is not the notes but what we have learnt in our minds that's very important and long-lasting.

Really very thoughtful
Nice.. I was also thinking of something since I saw the Nobel exhibit here, tangentially related to what you have written.. a lot many things in life that we perceive as important at some point are just temporary.. which is why maybe many events look trivial in hindsight.
I actually started and almost completed a post on this, but left it unfinished due to a procastination-seizure.. its been left suspended in the draft stage for almost a week now..; along with 2 other posts! :(
