Writings in the Sand

Thoughts destined to be washed away by the tides of life.

I've been studying my cover photo for a while now, and it seems to me that it is more than just a photo of what is there that can be seen, more than just three white rocks stacked on a beach. It contains an important question about the future, about what happens long after the photographer has gone. What will happen to our pile of stones when the tide comes in? Will it topple or has the architect built this structure at a safe distance?

I don't know what will happen to these words that I stack here on the sand. They may prove safely distant, or they may be swallowed up by a rush of self-doubt. They may be here for a season. They may lose their balance and be scattered by the shoreline, or be hidden away under shifting sands. Perhaps someday, the tides of life will reclaim them.

Or maybe that's just a bunch of poetic, romantic nonsense. After all, this is just a blog.

I had to look up just what absolute truth means, having never really thought about the concept much. It is a statement that is true at all times and at all places. One example of an absolute truth is: There are no round squares.

I wonder if such facts work for only rational people.

I'm sure Wednesday would be "happy" to sell you some Woe at a discounted rate... Perhaps you can get the "family discount"

In response to "About Hate"

It does seem like intolerance has rapidly increased in recent years. I remember earlier times when it was assumed that you and another person would have some things in common and differences of opinions on other things. These days it seems like a whole lot of people view even minor disagreements or varied opinions as tantamount to heresy or treason.
