Put a bent on it....

 I was saying that things do not sound correct to us because they submerge them in water, they come across falsely, then because I had to make it work, IT DID! 🍸 Because of light refraction. Incidentally, I still want to make the ultimate refracting telescope using the curve of the circle from its rolling line. Whatever that's called. Im doing it. 

And put a bow on it 

Also, it was me who submerged the thing and my bent on it.

Okay, so I learned today about something I posted years ago that's on my Facebook cover photos. I have all of them in screenshots and I love them. The particular photo I shared today was supposed to highlight the Julian of Norwich post I put up. I'll go grab that and screenshot it, too.

Okay, done.

The screenshots from Facebook on Julian of Norwich and Zhuangzi will be post script illustrations.

Not too terribly long ago, in a somewhat valley-esque, California accent, I delivered an online speech in a vlog that spoke a bit on the subject of context, not just as it is in a script, but in time and place. So today learning about the philosopher I quoted, Zhuangzi, I was able to reengage that thinking to come up with a better understanding of Taoist thought. 

It was written into the Wikipedia article that Laozi, who inspired Zhuangzi, encouraged ignorance in the people and required rulers to practice ignorance induction. It is written, upon Ai request, that the real reasoning was his foundational belief that ignorance is wisdom. Not that of knowing nothing, but that of insisting one "knows". You cannot know everything. Imagine that person. Talk about a party pooper. Spin your little box. Go ahead. Spin it, pooper. That's how much you know.

For instance, one of my quotes, might even be a cover photo, states something to the effect that being certain of one's rightness is perhaps certainly wrong. Off to find that one now... brb

"Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position. But certainty is an absurd one."

- Voltaire

Philosophers, they're all the same.

When someone asks me today, why are you like this. I say, "I could blame it all on the sunshine"  and add to that, "and rainy days".

The ridiculous emotion of contentment.

I understand the Toaist belief. I see it as a bit Christian. God had the man Balaam, sent to curse Isreal, say, "How beautiful are your tents by the river ". I cannot pass a stream of water now without it flowing through me like a living poem. Something about living water is so natural, it is evident to all living beings. 

The Toaist does not set itself on a permanent foundation. It sets tents by waters, and flows with life. 

I enjoy the idea of going with the flow. The tea says, "Nature doesn't hurry, amd yet everything is accomplished." 

Every rose has its thorn. Every cowboy... 🤠
