What exactly is the electromagnetic spectrum? In case you believe we are such geniuses, humans experience less than one percent of the spectrum. Yet within that narrow range there are awesome glories to behold. 

Do we really know best?

From low to high frequency the spectrum ranges are - radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics. 

Such as how they are produced, how they interact with matter, and their practical applications. Most are invisible to us - they are beyond human ability to perceive and even deadly for humans to absorb.

London Is My Boyfriend: a love letter to the city by Mahala Urra

London is like the ideal man. He has spent many years working out his identity and place in the world. He has rough spots, but his handsomeness and accomplishments outshine them. 

#wonderwanderwomen so London!

it's springtime!

At times that which seems small and mortal is in reality immense and divine, but can only be experienced in small and mortal increments. The same types of inspiration that lure gods down from the heavens seem to raise artists up to immortality.

As Dante, the great literary author, famously declared, "Ecce Deus fortior me, qui veniens dominabitur mihi" (Behold, a god stronger than I who, coming, shall rule over me). 

Time and again the smallest, humblest most personal developments are transformed by this thaumaturgic process into something universal and divine. 

Things that blur the dividing line between gods and mortals are so small and delicate they sometimes escape human attention, but it seems the gods have figured it out. 

It's springtime. Pay attention.
