Is this intro to philosophy? Just remember, when the oracles fail you, the saints are silent and God has chosen not to reveal himself, that's when you turn on the light within. That's where philosophy starts.

A gem from existentialism: One must have Chaos within to give birth to a dancing star - Nietzsche

and yes it is intro

i also found my favorite line i was talking about earlier in this thread. i posted it on the new philosophy thread

I always find intro classes to be so much fun. They go over what is most important and most digestible. I hope you enjoy Plato. Give him time. He's good for the soul. All he wants to do is harmonize the chaos within. Please post with any questions and I'll be happy to go over it with you. It's what I love. I wanted to become a philosophy professor after all.

We went for a walk in the countryside today. Dog had a whale of a time getting completely muddy and running free range through the forest. The sun was shining, though it was bitterly cold, and it was quite beautiful there in a stark, brown twiggy sort of way. The fun started though after coming home and trying to bath Dog! He was plastered in mud! I don't know why but I everytime I bathe a dog, I end up wetter than they do! Lol But he's all clean, dry and fluffy now

Happy thoughts! Well, this is going to sound very superficial but I got some really nice makeup yesterday. I normally don't wear makeup. My husband surprised me with roses yesterday morning. My cat is happy, and I had the most delicious candy bar for breakfast - Lindt salted caramel!

I know I don't post on here much. Hope you don't mind me just popping in like this once in a while. Sometimes Psychotic, I like your artwork. I can really feel the weather in that painting, if that makes any sense.

Sometimes, I always really like your paintings. The latest one looks a lot like where I went walking yesterday; brown and stark, but still pretty. I prefer spring, but all of the seasons are beautiful IMO.

I am very pleased with myself today because I *FINALLY* have sewn the buttons back onto my beautiful purple Joe Browns coat and repaired the ripped pocket. So I can wear it again

I've been working on my clock. My escapement worked but I wasn't really happy with its performance. I'm going to try again. I discovered friction is a big challenge to overcome especially with paper gear wheels. To overcome this problem I have to make precise wheels which means everything has to line up and be even. I've been trying out different designs and ways to put them together.

Thank you---I usually paint when I'm either really happy or really upset it helps stabilize my mood a bit---very zen---usually I'm inspired by pictures I've taken of plants or landscapes, that kind of thing. So basically going somewhere beautiful or buying a pretty flower is enough for me to get started...

[newtus]

i like the first one. because it reminds me of my colors i use when i draw: b & w. or just one or two colors.
