I could have stayed there a long time, just watching it.<br /><br />Robin, I'd hardly claim I've read those philosophers' works, although I've read enough <i>about</i> them to have a smattering of knowledge of some of their ideas. Whether that little knowledge is really a dangerous thing is uncertain, but how much knowledge is only a little, and, ... oh, never mind. You get the idea ;-)<br /><br />Zhoen, I love that song.<br /><br />gz, thank you :-)pohanginapetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11463792721091291063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-50822180430658855232016-08-15T20:19:39.706+12:002016-08-15T20:19:39.706+12:00(O)(O)gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-32785869648614377332016-08-15T12:51:44.564+12:002016-08-15T12:51:44.564+12:00Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff ...Lot of water under the bridge, lot of other stuff too.

This was such a fun read! Thank you for writing it down and for having read all the philosophers so I won't have to and yet still be enriched by their ideas.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-20255467033615401592016-08-15T00:54:32.654+12:002016-08-15T00:54:32.654+12:00I'm with RR - you could just forget the philos...I'm with RR - you could just forget the philosophers and contemplate the always changing beauty of that delightful stream.

As Enrico, the Italian guy who entertained and enlightened me at Manali in 2014 claimed, there are no coincidences because 'they're against the laws of physics'.<br /><br />RR — ah, yes. Pooh Sticks is always possible and often the best solution.

For years I've admired a certain character in a fiction series largely because, in the midst of "passionate intensity", she just picked herself up and kept going. Sorry. That just struck me as quite a coincidence. Awesome photo, moving and powerful.<br /><br />Barbara Butler McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06250129625281645201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-191028737265893759.post-68477739551526565602016-08-13T21:57:34.802+12:002016-08-13T21:57:34.802+12:00I'm still gasping for breath after that long s...I'm still gasping for breath after that long sentence.
