Come Again?

 Usually I know what I'm trying to say, but not always.  Sometimes I just throw something out there for whatever chord it might strike with some unknown reader somewhere.

"If there be no God, then what is truth but the average of all lies."

"We are all the average person.  The challenge is to be the most exceptional average person we can be."

"I have always thought that the night sky is a marvelous example of what can be done with mirrors, assuming that's the way it was done."

"In my loneliest dream, I am alone at a railway depot, having missed the last train to eternity."

Thoughts, Wishes, Regrets

"I wish, at age 86, that I hadn't been so quick to complete my memoirs." 

As someone who got a 'D' in third grade arithmetic, perhaps I should stop saying, "By my calculus... ."

"I wish I had done more explaining to people who deserved an explanation and less to people sitting next to me in tourist class."

  

"No, I don't think my life would make a great biopic.  For one thing, insufficient drug problem."

I often wonder what my shadow would say if it could talk.  I mean, besides, "You're in my light."

DUH!

To challenge someone's faulty logic and be accused of "semantics" is equivalent to challenging someone's faulty arithmetic and being accused of "mathematics."

How often do we search to find

  in memories of old

Or in some fancied, wistful dream

 of days to yet unfold

Or in our fond imaginings of places

  far and wide

The happiness that all the while

  is sitting by our side.

 

Reality, You Say

 ""Yes, there's a physical reality, but only a tiny part of it, it turns out, is non-negotiable." 

"Which is to say, you can accept reality without believing every yarn it spins."

"Reality is not some fantasy world we imagine; it is a world of demonstrable fact we imagine."

"Which is to say, to accept reality is not only to acknowledge it but, in large part, to create it."

Beware!

You would think that enough fish have "got away" by now that they would have warned the rest of the fish population not to bite at dangling worms.  And yet, after millennia, the word seems not to have gotten around.  You wonder what might be the equivalent uncirculated warning among human beings.
