So, the weather’s been nice here today—a little cool this morning, pretty warm in the afternoon, and moderately warm now. I was moments ago outside checking out the stars. They sure are nice. Nietzsche said, “The sage as the astronomer.—As long as you still experience the stars as something 'above you' you lack the eye of knowledge.”
What do you suppose he might mean?
I really like fog—especially thick soupy fog. It’s rarely foggy here—and if the times it were foggy counted as individual phases of the moon, then I could really say with truth that we get thick soupy fog here once in a blue moon. Now, some of you must live where it is foggy more often—how do you relate to fog?
One last thing, we commonly say, for a couple of examples, “It’s hot” or “It’s raining.” However, what is this “It” that we are referring to? What is this that is hot sometimes, raining other times, snowing, sleeting, hailing, cold, dark, bright, etc. at other times--or perhaps better, all at once as a whole? Whatever “it” is, it sure seems multifaceted! |
