When I find myself drowning in turmoil, I close my eyes. I see you feeding my fragile breaths some sanguine seeds of hope. I savour them & see how soon they build trust within my inner self. #MoonMystic #vss365 #vssMurder

Gone are those days when I used to read you bedtime stories, sing you songs of the ’90s. Now, grown-up boy, you read me stories, all by yourself, & sing me songs of today to awe me. I can't express how much it nourishes your mama’s soul. #vss365

“What's wrong with humans?” asked Charles Babbage. “It’s the #technology , the zeitgeist of the century! Your inventions have supplanted man over machines, so much so that you may be able to separate souls from human bodies, but not their phones.” replied the brainy bot. #vss365
