Koans

I've found that I don't need to travel distant mountaintops to consult with hermitic gurus for enlightenment about how the Buddah is three pounds of flax. I just need to spend time around a three-year-old.

Some koans/tautologous thoughts from my toddler:

"A banana is not a phone."

"People are talking and then they are not talking."

"Whoa."

Eponym

"So far as I can remember, there is not one word in the Gospels in praise of intelligence."

Bertrand Russell (1872 - 1970)
British mathematician, philosopher, and author

Seems like a good observation to me. And something that needs to be done, too.

This is going to be a place where I can post some random observations. Hopefully they'll be intelligent ones.
