The four basic cloud types, as defined by amateur nephologist Mr. Luke Howard at a lecture at Plow Court London on 12 December 1802, are cirrus, cumulus, stratus, and nimbus. Cirrus, from the Latin for "lock of hair," means a tendril or fibrous shape. Cumulus, from the Latin for "heap or pile" means a heap or pile. Stratus, from the Latin for layer, is a horizontal band. And Nimbus, Latin for Cloud, a rainy combination of all three types.

She’s a very 360-degree person, not a painter or a sculptor but something more. You can’t put her into a box; she creates her own language.

I’m so happy to breathe again with you so near.

Franz Kafka, 1920

There is something about the kitchen that invites intimacy. I suppose kitchens are a space for intimacy because I will touch with my hands the things that will go in your mouth; I will taste what you taste; I will work for you, or you will work for me. I will make this for you because I love you, because you need it, because you want it.

The world is not a collection of things, it is a collection of events. A stone is prototypical ‘thing’: we can ask ourselves where it will be tomorrow. Conversely, a kiss is an 'event’. It makes no sense to ask where the kiss will be tomorrow. The world is made up of networks of kisses, not of stones. On closer inspection, in fact, even the things that are most 'thing-like’ are nothing more than long events.

| Carlo Rovelli
