Rich in detail again. I couldn\'t quite get my head around how discoveries of new lands in, say the Pacific happened.- seemed to me the birds were the most significant factor.
Full of content - got a further education there, John.

Seeing more Deeply, Seems Pointless

Good write, F.F.
A Buddhist response. Put your fingers to your ears so you can\'t hear, close your eyes so as not to see. Count one, two, three quickly open. Singularity or Bang- which is more fun?

I beg to differ .. it is not always the journey (life per se) .. but the distractions along the way that make it uniquely and individually special ........................................... :)

When you consider all the money being spent to research the questions about this and that of the universe, wouldn\'t it be nice to put it to the vote... continue this pointless research or spend the money doing...... well where do I start.... so many worthy causes here on our home.
A good thought provoking write.

Knowing ourselves is the most important as with that knowledge we can spread love and kindness to all.

For me knowing means killing the magic of things. As poets we are generally a soppy romantic lot and much prefer seeing what things might be than what they actually are. Good poem FF

This, for me, is good and right. I exist, I’m happy about that. I know little else but ‘I’m here because I’m here’.
As I am here, I might just as well make what I can out of it.
Now most of your piece recounts theories which may or may not be overturned some day, and should anyone find them interesting then go for it. But they won’t, don’t worry me overly.
And one more thing – when I cark it, or when the whole world becomes desolate and sterile, it won’t make one iota of difference to the universe……. So I’ll enjoy what I’ve got now and engage with the reality around me. I’d like this world, civilization to be much better than it is, but I don’t think there’s much chance of that…..

One more mysterious (to the uninitiated) activity you\'ve revealed here, John. Thanks.
Easy to train those dogs?
Couldn\'t you pension the pigs off?

Pondering Sideways Glance
Doggerel Dave said:
Yep - something I think I was aware of more or less subconsciously - thanks for defining it for me.. Not sure walking the bush in the dark is something I would engage in, but each to their own...
Peripheral vision thing I shall remember, though.

The Eye\'s Pupil
SureshG said:
To be able to see one’s reflection in someone’s eye, is not to see an image but to know how they really see you.
A short but a very powerful poem.

\'Neither denying nor affirming anything in
shadows that cross my path, beyond my control.
I’ve got my stuff together, with my life
back in balance, stable, \'
(what more is there, to wish for!
I have said it before, in a reply to Kurt before;
if Stoic\'s and those with Epicurean mindset\'s
had merged and fine tuned
their ideologies: than opposed and belittled
each others merit of worth
we could have long - retired
that social philosophy of day to day, survival
and made some headway
into unfurling those real, quintessential mysteries
at our nucleus of all-things: metaphysical
to this experiment of symbiotic existence
we\'ve titled: life...)
a great read, of a socio philosophical dipped
poetic treat, thank you dear poet
