On one world there were structures of two types:
within one type all was silent, while within the other
there was both silence and non-silence.
Welcome to Earth.

A Story:

There was once a man who decided that he wanted to be the world's fastest runner,
and he practiced and practiced, and sought tips from the other great runners both
living and dead. And finally, on several occasions, he did experience the sensation
of having run as fast as is humanly possible. But yet he still never felt himself to be
successful in the pursuit. Now there are several available endings to this story that
immediately arise, but I will (for the instant) leave that to you.

And now on to some nonmetaphorical, really physical recreational news:
One man had this little game which he could play -- or which would play him.

Pertinent, the irrelevancy of thought to the lives men actually lead, consider:
Even after the government of a land is overthrown and demolished, its rivers
continue to flow, and its trees to grow, just as though the mortal powers had
never existed.

Some Nutrition News:

The familiar is that upon which
the mind (as is) will flourish.

The fear of the new separates
the many from the few.

Some Knowledge News:

If you already know it -- forget it!

Okay, I know that some of you are past this point,
so for you the real skinny regarding knowledge:
Those who take knowledge to be a substantial and
objective reality don't know anything.
And there's your complete story concerning the subject
of knowledge.

Those who (with happy anticipation) feel "I can hardly wait
for tomorrow to come" never find the promise to pass.
(And the sorriest of the lot are not among the ordinary -- but the mystics.)

To himself, one man recently speculated, "Is it possible
(if I understand correctly what I'm saying) that I know too much?"

The far-along trick then is to live your life, not be an observer of it.

The mind says that we are wasting our time when we're not involved in
Trying to accomplish something.

(How far away from the view of the few.)
