Today we have a figuring-it-out high five from Karl Jansky, the father of radio astronomy. 
I think listening is one of the hardest things to do: to listen to characters, to listen to your critiquers, to listen to your editors, to listen to your own heart. I came across this story recently and was deeply inspired by it. This story illustrates the importance of listening.
In 1932 Karl Jansky was investigating the vast amount of static found in transatlantic radio telephone service. In the silence he heard a hiss of unknown origin. This hiss rose and fell once a day. He rotated his antennae in every direction searching for the source of the sound. It wasn't coming from Earth, but from space. He realized the sound was coming from no nearby source like the planets or the sun.
It was coming from the heart of the Milky Way. This discovery was the birth of radio astronomy. It changed the way we view the universe.
So stop and listen today. What do you hear? What does it mean? Will it change everything? I hope so.
That's today's cup of java. Come back tormorrow for another cup of the hot stuff. :)
Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be. Shel Silverstein
