A Small-Sized Mystery

by Jane Hirshfield

Leave a door open long enough, a cat will enter. Leave food, it will stay. Soon, on cold nights, you’ll be saying “Excuse me” if you want to get out of your chair. But one thing you’ll never hear from a cat is “Excuse me.” Nor Einstein’s famous theorem. Nor “The quality of mercy is not strained.” In the dictionary of Cat, mercy is missing. In this world where much is missing, a cat fills only a cat-sized hole. Yet your whole body turns toward it again and again because it is there.

The first simulated image of a black hole was calculated with an IBM 7040 computer using 1960 punch cards and hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978.

The dream was different in that it wasn’t actually a dream, but a memory that replayed in my sleep.

“While the Greek root of the word nostalgia, ‘nostos’, means ‘the return home’ — anyone who has been there knows that the return home is never without pain. Nostalgia feels like getting the blues. According to the Oxford English dictionary, ‘nostalgia’ is ‘a form of melancholia caused by prolonged absence from one’s home or country; severe homesickness’. Indeed, ‘Nostos might hold out the promise that, yes, you can return whence you came, but nostalgia happens because you can’t go home again.’”
