The Great Secret


As Socrates said long ago; "I know I am wiser than many others, because I am aware of my own ignorance, and they are not."

I have left you a list of books to read, but the world about you is very antagonistic to you. A woman who thinks is an outcast. The average young man is afraid of her, and so she goes on her way in a solitary state; and few young women can stand that. We are sadly human, all of us, and if the price of knowledge is to sit alone on the Olympian heights, we are not prepared to pay it...





You really do find the most... enlightening things, in forgotten literature.

I Feel You Moving

Just behind my back, at the edge of my eyes..

Hey blog-people-he-she-its...

I've been up in the bush for the weekend and the simple change of scenery can alter your whole perspective. I mean, just sitting up here with my old man and the way he lives life is so different from 80km down the road.

It was so refreshing to wake up in the morning and have him say, "what do you want to do today? I know you've got maths and stuff, but let's do something different." Ahhh.

Say, I know people normally don't comment on the posts, and I'm not entirely sure that people read them at all, but I was hoping that one of you might reply to this one.

My query to you is this; what do you think it takes to achieve what you want?

I know the stock-standard reaction is "determination" but some ventures call for a different kind of quality. Do you have any examples, personally or otherwise? It'd be interesting to know.





That's all folks!

Backyard Of A Friends Place

I've seen better days
Put my face in my hands
Get down on my knees and I pray to God
Hope he sees me through to end...

Epitome of the Australian easy listening tunes.. thanks Pete Murray for the dreams of warmer days and good looking surfers.


Aka you.
