With out the awareness and concept of light, darkness holds no meaning. Only emptiness.

If only we as humans could be so blessed to learn to share space together.

Dread,
The pictures are great! Nothing like the beauty of nature.
The kilt looks real good out in the sunlight.

I was asked an odd question yesterday. What is the speed of dark? After reading your post, I wondered if you had a good answer to that. I couldn't come up with one at the time.

A profound thought, Dread. I often find that pausing to think of the big universe, space, time, and light, puts all the day's trivial human conflict into context and can be profoundly therapeutic.

This might come as a suprise to people, but I spend some serious time in meditation. (Sometimes while crocheting) I contemplate stuff. I doubt it makes me deep, or even meaningful, but it has done WONDERS for my own personal insights.

Everybody should try it.

Love the piccies. We were warm in Boston today (high 50's) but winter still wants to hang on for a bit.

Love to see the flowers. Can almost smell the blossoms on the trees . . .

Great pics, Dread. I'll have to get some pics of the peach trees around here. The high today is supposed to be low 80s. I think "Spring has sprung", and I love it. Spring and early Fall are my favorites.

I'd really like to see those pictures, please post!

A wise man always knows when to shut up and listen to the Universe. I forget who said it but I've always agreed. Beautiful pics. Love the Cocolate brown kilt. Is that a Beuth sim original I see with that Kilt? I am Honoured. I am mailing your strap today or tomorrow, as well as ring #4. Size 11. I really hope things work out as I really look forward to meeting you and your most special wife. I hope that ALL the Greenvillians will be there this OCT. 6th. Looking good, and Great Pics. Tell Marlene that I said hi.

BEAUTIFUL scenery! (And the flowers are nice, too.)

Dread, I'd have been surprised had you said you WEREN'T contemplative...

Wise words, my friend and poignant questions.

The beauty of the flowers points out the impermanence of ALL things. Light, dark, the seasons and us. Why does it take so long for some of us (me) to grasp this. Time on the planet is much too short to sweat the small stuff. The true secret is to want what you have. You are wealthy man!

Kilts and blue skies for all!!
