There’s this wonderful sort of tension in the wind — that moment when you’re held there suspended is a very beautiful moment … a moment of clarity in a very chaotic situation. … It’s like a shaft of light that penetrates. | |

Experience A Simple Whatever
Posted in Other Blogs, Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Beauty, David Kanigan, http://davidkanigan.com/, Matt Haig, Other Blogs, Other web sites, Philosophy, Quotes, Reminders, The Comfort Book on November 5, 2021| 1 Comment »
Experience one beautiful thing a day. However small. However trivial. Read a poem. Play a favorite song. Laugh with a friend. Gaze at the sky just before the sun’s final tumble toward night. Watch a classic movie. Eat a slice of lemon drizzle cake. Whatever. Just give yourself one simple reminder that the world is full of wonders. Even if we are at a point in life where we can’t appreciate things, it sometimes helps to remember there are things in this world to enjoy, when we are ready. | |

It is sometimes said that scientists are unromantic, that their passion to figure out robs the world of beauty and mystery. But is it not stirring to understand how the world actually works — that white light is made of colors, that color is the way we perceive the wavelengths of light, that transparent air reflects light, that in so doing it discriminates among the waves, and that the sky is blue for the same reason that the sunset is red? It does no harm to the romance of the sunset to know a little bit about it. | |

In Pursuit
Posted in Philosophy, Quotes, tagged Attitude, Beauty, Bravery, Distress, Philosophy, Principles, Quotes, Reflection, Smile, ST:TOS, Strength, Thomas Paine, Trouble, Truth on April 15, 2021| Leave a Comment »
I love the man that can smile in trouble, that can gather strength from distress, and grow brave by reflection. ’Tis the business of little minds to shrink, but he whose heart is firm, and whose conscience approves his conduct, will pursue his principles unto death. | |
— Thomas Paine | |
[While I agree with Paine – in general – on the admirable traits required to accomplish great things. I am equally reminded of the saying (I made up based on the title of a Star Trek – Original Series episode): “there is no truth in beauty, although there is a beauty in truth“. Anyway, I would caution readers the above quote is equally valid for many mass murderers and terrorists – maybe even more so. — KMAB] | |
