“It’s a New Year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world. So this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come, let us be brave – let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we’re faking them.
And whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it. We can find joy in the world if it’s joy we’re looking for, we can take joy in the act of creation. So that is my wish for you, and for me. Bravery and joy.”
-Neil Gaiman’s NY2013 wish

“Symphony of Science: The Quantum World”
The best song about subatomic particles since Hank Green’s “Strange Charm.”

“Mr. Rogers Remixed: Garden of Your Mind”
This song is SO CATCHY. I’m tempted to just loop it and jam out for the next 15 minutes. (No, really, I’m on my third play-through in a row.)
I’ve transcribed the lyrics because this song WILL get stuck in your head, in the most wonderful way possible:
*****
Do you ever imagine things? Are they scary things? Do you ever imagine things, things you’d like to have? Did you ever see a cat’s eyes in the dark and wonder what they were? Did you ever pretend like things like that before?
Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind? You can grow ideas in the garden of your mind. It’s good to be curious about many things. You can think about things and make believe. All you have to do is think, and they’ll grow.
Imagine, every person that you see is someone different from every other person in the world. Some can do some things. Some can do others. Did you ever think of the many things that you’ve learned to do?
Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind? You can grow ideas in the garden of your mind. It’s good to be curious about many things. You can think about things and make believe. All you have to do is think, and they’ll grow.
Did you feel like going like that? Let’s give the fish some food. Mr. McFeeley, I didn’t order any whistles. Any whistles?
**BAMF slide whistle solo**
That’s what they call these, slide whistles.
Did you feel like going like that?
There are so many things to learn about in this world and so many people who can help us learn.
Did you ever grow anything in the garden of your mind? You can grow ideas in the garden of your mind. It’s good to be curious about many things. You can think about things and make believe. All you have to do is think. You can think about things and make believe. All you have to do is think, and they’ll grow.

“Symphony of Science: Onward to the Edge!”
Dear melodysheep,
WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME‽‽‽‽
Thank you for being so awesome! Interrobangs don’t even begin to express my marveling, and the ever-expanding universe cannot hope to contain the amounts of awesome from which you are made.
I am literally getting chills listening to your songs. They are leaving me shaken, and stirred, and thirsty for more. They truly are, as you put it, “remixes for the soul.”
Best,
Shelley

“Escape Capitalism”
I’m not actually sure what the second word says, but it looks “Capitalism”-esque.
Happy Block Friday!
I hope everyone spent the day doing something wonderful with friends and family.
Can’t argue with the logic…
