#### Focusing Orb: Dune tribute

It'd be kinda neat if, for instance on the day Frank Herbert (October 8, 1920 – February 11, 1986) died, the focusing orb would tribute with the Litany Against Fear from the Dune books.
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain

- Considering some of Lem's tidbits (which I LOVE, by the way), I see no reason some of these couldn't make the Orb's regular rotation!

- Assuming, of course, that the Herbert Estate wouldn't sue the crap out of TS, this would be so freakin' cool.

- In death related news, Anne McCaffrey died yesterday. I knew she was getting old and all her recent books were "co-written" but it still makes me sad. = (
