To huser:soledad_moon (Stik) in "Preserved Since 1935" Run run. I wear compression socks when traveling but have never thought about wearing them out of the context. So, kudos for thinking about that. I prefer working out with cloud cover. I could work out in the evenings but it's still sticky; mornings would make sense... not happening. Dutch villages... Delft is beautiful, historical, livable, but well-known and can be touristy. I want to visit Flevoland someday, possibly Urk, which was once an island and definitely has its own sense of place. Maastricht is very nice and there may be small villages in surrounding Limburg that few visit. To huser:judithd (Judith) in "Read to Learn" I would guess nonknowledge = ignorance. That said, some people are quite happy with not knowing or not caring (apathy), as engaging with reality can be painful and "ignorance is bliss". Perhaps we just sit on the island of our limited knowledge in a vast ocean of knowledge. Knowledge in the spiritual or physical sense. Nonknowledge seems to be a human construct denying that reality. Quotes: "The sum total of all scholarly and scientific works is a vast ocean of knowledge. To create new knowledge, all must swim in that ocean, building on the existing stock of wisdom." “As the Island of Knowledge grows, so do the shores of our ignorance—the boundary between the known and unknown. Learning more about the world doesn’t lead to a point closer to a final destination—whose existence is nothing but a hopeful assumption anyways—but to more questions and mysteries. The more we know, the more exposed we are to our ignorance, and the more we know to ask.” "I am the Sun of Wisdom and the Ocean of Knowledge. I cheer the faint and revive the dead. I am the guiding Light that illumineth the way. I am the royal Falcon on the arm of the Almighty. I unfold the drooping wings of every broken bird and start it on its flight. — Bahá’u’lláh, Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 169 To huser:wolfgang Harlow: "Invalid Entry" "There are different types of leaders... some charge ahead, some support from behind. Either can be good or bad and remembered as such by whomever writes the history. Saint Donald may very well be remembered as such; albeit, not by me. Bowel movements, butts and patchouli. I love patchouli. So 1970s... . Butts and bowels, however, depend on movement to keep firm or functional. Very important as we grow older to consciously remember what we once could ignore without bodily repercussions. I tend to smile a lot. Here... depends... ex-pats aren't very friendly and their face-of-scowls makes me back off." 103 |
