The Daily Reflections
of Jan Cox

 

Over in the dead-on heart of the city, a father said to his son, "Since it's Friday, would you like me to just skip my daily advice?" and the lad replied, "Certainly not! For, should you do so, I'd have nothing to ignore all weekend long!"

 

 

 

The king of this one mountain
would periodically put up little mole hills,
so he'd have something to do.

 

No matter what collective thought and the ordinary mind say, an "improved" 3-D world would not be one of fewer dimensions.
(As is always the case in finite conditions, identifying forward from backward is not all that simple, nor significant.)

 

Another of those city-park-philosophers said this, commenting on his contemporaries' religious activities:
"In their fervor for simplicity, they damn near make a sin of goodness."

 

Within a finite context,
the opposite of something
is of no additional significance,
and its rejection, meaningless.

 

Take note yourself:
If you can't think of a whole bunch of stuff at the same time-- and yet--it's not really just "at the same time"--well, not in any normal sense of "time," at any rate--if you can't think of a whole bunch of stuff at the same time--like we're talking about--you can't really think at all.
(Was that "simple enough," Mr. Dashes, Commas, and All-Capitalized-Words?!!)

 

For your ears only: Secret, unorthodox, uncouth orthopedic info:
Being able to intellectually "take it on the chin" will not only strengthen your present chin, but will, in fact, help grow a new one.

 

 

One city correspondent surmises, "Why bother to `kick a habit' when after that a new one will just kick in?!!"

 

 

Conversation Overheard at Starbucks
Friday Morning:
(First guy says): "There are no stupid people..."
(Second guy interrupts): "Wait, let me finish it: `There are no stupid people--only stupid ideas,'"
(and the first guy says): "N-o-o-o, that's not quite it either."

 

As if people in the city didn't have enough to worry about.... one farmer says he's just about certain that after he's safely in bed at night, his fruits and vegetables leave the fields and go into town.
