Relativity



In a reality of the limitless space
of an expanding universe,
where galaxy sized clouds of dark matter
move at right angles
to logical expectation,
how unimportant is the fact
that the neighbour’s dog
defecates on my lawn?

You are soooo right, I often find myself worring about nothingness, small marbles that would be lost in time. Even these words, will be shatered by time...

Jim,
Nice tail.
As for the defecation proclamation,it is only
99% as unimportant as 100 dogs defecating on your lawn unless you own the other 99.
Now that I've seen your picture,I'll give you the nod on our next passing.
Dook.

Greetings fellow travellers,

For you American friends visiting, you will notice that this old Canadian uses Canadian English in this blog: kindly bear with me. As I blog primarily on subjects that are vitally interesting to me, I appreciate all feedback.

As I tend to be a bit of a language usage freak, I will, as required, edit obscenity and rude comments. That said, I welcome your opinions and discussion.

May your Dharma be clear

Peace

"If we shadows have offended,
Think but this, and all is mended:
That you have but slumb'red here,
While these visions did appear."
