Regarding "Verticality", I cite the poem "Unrest" from Don Marquis from 1916:

https://allpoetry.com/poem/8550733-Unrest-by-Donald-Marquis

A fierce unrest seethes at the core

Of all existing things:

It was the eager wish to soar

That gave the gods their wings.

From what flat wastes of cosmic slime,

And stung by what quick fire,

Sunward the restless races climb!—

Men risen out of mire!

There exists a song with these words; I think it is in one of the Unitarian hymnals and in "Shenandoah Harmony", the shape note hymnal recently published.

I’ll bet any victims of Zoom meetings would agree that the Zoom Timer is one of the greatest contributions to society in the past 100 years!
