Music in the air

She was an artist. He was a scientist.
She was a philanthropist. He was a businessman. There was so much love between them. She wanted to look into his eyes every moment, he wanted to kiss her all the time. She wanted to touch him and play with his hair. He wanted to smell her and hear her breath.

"My love I have brought you The gift", he told her. "It is not a music instrument, it is not colors and camvas, it is not tools to work on marble. It is a tool for anything you want".

When she opened the box there was a kind of console, like an advanced mobile phone, in it. She looked and smiled - he knew that she was not getting on with technology, what kind of a present was this. Then she noticed a transparent small box with a white powder in it. She was even more astonished and looked at him with an interrogative glance.

He started to explain and her eyes opened wide, she could not believe it. She was impatient but confused, she didn't know what to do and how to start using it.

That white powder was a set of nanobots, millions of them. They were not all the same. There were the guides, there were the messengers, the transmitters-receivers, the simple ones, all in the correct proportion in the mix without being able to separate them, recognize them.

There was also the console with only one application on it. It didn' t seem that complicated; only one simple menu at the beginning, but it was getting more and more complex when drilling down to its functionality. But it was so self-explanatory at the same time that it was inviting her to explore it.

He opened the box carefully, he handed over the console and winked to her to go on...

She selected "music". Powder went off in the air like a cloud and dissapeared in the air. Then from "instruments" selected "violin". Next, she had options on "play your song" or "select song". The later selected and then Vivaldi's four seasons.

Guiding particles responded to selection for music and through messengers transfered the correct density attribute to the full population... the cloud speaded all arround, receiver nanobots acted collectively as an antenna to receive all info from console and communicate it to messengers, then to guides and from there to the whole cloud. They had to vibrate at their position, to mobilize the air in which they floated and create sound waves.

Music in the air from nowhere... Sounds from an invisible orchestra. Technology and art in love. One supporting the other and both their love.

She selected another song; "love is in the air" and the room was in a party... with the two of them dancing and laughing and kissing.

When they sat down exhausted, he took the console and pressed "return home". The air around the box changed while the nanobots were gathering back to enter the box. A small cloud becoming visible and condensing like a genie entering its box, a swarm of bees gathering back to its hive, they all entered the box and ttansformed to a quiet white powder. The box and the console put aside.

Eyes met in silence.
She looked at her present and said "this is love".
He put her hand on his chest and said "Love IS, everything else BECOMES".
She smiled and said "you are right, you will see..."
