So I'm working on a Llewellyn article tonight, and I came across this in an article about mustard: "The Jewish philosopher, Nahmanides, mentions the universe expanded from the time of its creation, in which it was the size of a mustard seed." And I was reminded of the pea instaton. The world talks about itself to people who listen. It never shuts up, really. If you know this, you can find these amusing little parallel references in the most amazingly discontiguous places. I love science, and history, and religion.
