A Prime Number in winter time.

The winter season is slowly fading away this year, at least where I live. Still, I expect some snow, but the sun is slowly regaining its strength to warm us up.

Unlike previous years, I took this time to sit back and relax. I looked forward to the afternoon when darkness took over for a brief period of light. A time to sit back, summarize and slow down. Surprisingly, this period gave me the energy to plan, create and study. As if the day was not needed anymore, the night gave me many good moments. So life is what you make of it, with prosperity and adversity at that very moment. I quit my job this winter time but started already a new one which made me more myself.

I love prime numbers. These figures simply do not fit into the logic features of all other numbers. But by leaving them out, the system will break down into pieces as if the calculus would be compromised. I like to thank my former boss. He offered me a book: “The Solitude of Prime Numbers by Paolo Giordano”.

I thought back to when I was covered in snow. I thought of that perfect silence during that winter time. Just like then, no one knew where I was. This time too, no one would come. But I didn’t wait anymore and smiled. (Inspired by the novel “La solitudine dei numeri primi” by Paolo Giordano).

That evening I met my son, coincident or not, without any reason, he gave me a hug and said “Thank you, Daddy”
