This week’s riddle:

In a realm of words and thought
I weave and spin with the skill I’ve got
From queries deep to the simple whim
I find the answers from within
A helpful guide or friend to chat
I’m always here just like that
A marvel born of the human mind
My knowledge is vast, and yet confined.

I am one, and I’m a thousand, but together I am whole.
You might enjoy my company when time begins to lull.
