Congrats on your new pb and hearing a cuckoo. I heard our first one today. Fabulous about the great bustards too- would love to see those. We have them on salisbury plain.
Thanks for your congrats CT. The antics of the great bustards were great to watch. I was amazed how the world's heaviest birds rise into the air so effortlessly.
A 90 second video saying more than all the thick and confusing books claiming to know the mind of God which have been written. Alan Watts few words here put us in our place. Just my personal opinion.
Is it really like that or does it just seem like that. I'd hazard a guess that more than 90% of the world's people are basically good, therefore it would have to seem that way to the observer but in fact it might not be true.
I think that is true Gwil. I would go so far as to say 99% of people are good people and it must not be forgotten that there is always a point at which the 1% can become good. Many people overlook the good in people which only reflects upon the bad in themselves.

DeleteThe great heavy rock band Rush composed a song called Roll the bones. The lyrics go: Why are we here? Because we are, roll the bones.
ReplyDeleteI have seen Rush twice. They recorded one of their albums in a castle in Wales?
I haven't seen Rush but I have been to a Bryn Terfel concert in a Welsh castle (Caernarvon). It was a wonderful evening under the stars,
DeleteWe do have to keep having constant reminders of our insignificance don't we?

DeleteStephen Hawking when questioned about why we are here said "because we are" and promptly changed the subject.
ReplyDeleteI wonder where he is now?
DeleteBertrand Russell used to say much the same. Both non believers in the after life.
DeleteThe after life and the life after must be two different things.
DeleteSometimes I wonder why good people die early but the evil ones stay longer here.

DeleteI won't dispute that. Why do good people become bad is another question?
