Life is any process that is interested in "what happens next" - in the causual worldlines sketched by our universe from planck length to planck length, from day to day, from big bang to entropy and the timeless indeterminacy which exists outside of all that, the most interesting parts are always going to be not in the biggest picture of all, but in following the connected threads and patterns in the information that becomes our reality. Since July 2006, I have had the pleasure of seeing this project reach a worldwide audience of deep thinkiers and big dreamers who enjoy my way of visualizing reality, and the "what happens next" for me has made me jump out of bed every morning, filled with ideas and inspirations about the ideas surrounding this project. For that, and for the millions of people around the world who have now been introduced to this project, I am very, very Thankful.

Enjoy the journey,

THANKFUL
music and lyrics (c) by Rob Bryanton (SOCAN)

In this improbable world
In this impossible life
At the end of infinite happenstance
Leading back to the big bang

I am thankful for what I have
I am thankful for what I’ve been given
I am thankful for those I love
And for this life I’m livin

And in the multitude of paths
That could have ended before now
I am grateful for the unseen hand
Which led us here somehow

I am thankful for what I have
I am thankful for what I’ve been given
I am thankful for those I love
And for this life I’m livin

The universe is beautiful
More complex than we can believe
And praisable for what it holds within
A tapestry of threads
That each of us must weave
From each and every moment that we’re in

In this improbable world
In this impossible life
At the end of infinite coincidence
Leading back to the big bang

I am thankful for what I have
I am thankful for what I’ve been given
I am thankful for those I love
And for this life I’m livin
