utrinque paratus: Ranguana Caye [10 April 1994]

Ranguana Caye [10 April 1994]

As the sun makes its leisurely, orange-tinged descent down the horizon, I reflect on our first day in the cayes.

It seems that bumpy rides are the theme of this trip--after packing we took an hour long skiff ride to our present location. Closer into Placencia we had a 3-4 foot chop that was truly kidney and gonad shattering. It was a thrill though. We finally arrived at a reasonable approximation of paradise--sandy beaches, wind-bent coconut palms.

I had my first introduction to snorkeling here and it was honestly an introduction to a world I've never known. It is still strange to me that you can breath and look underwater at the same time. Sometimes I'd find myself holding my breath forgetting that I didn't have to.

Even though the coral here is modest in comparison to the Silk Cayes according to Danny, I saw a lushness in both flora & fauna that I've never been able to perceive in such little space.

The light's failing now so I'll stop.

Socrates was the first to call philosophy down from the heavens and to place it in cities, and even to introduce it into homes and compel it to enquire about life and standards and good and ill.

Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.

The praise of ancient authors proceeds not from the reverence of the dead, but from the competition, and mutual envy of the living.

I have often wondered how it is that every man loves himself more than all the rest of men, but yet sets less value on his own opinion of himself than on the opinion of others

The aim of philosophy is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term.

If we think that this search for God is a vain search, and that there is no reality to be discovered, ... then the history of religion becomes a study of the aberrations of the human mind.

yes.
buy levitra cheap levitraAmerican culture is based on the automobile, and any young man of promise
is going to own one and want to travel great distances in it. Consequently,
any young woman of aspiration should expect to spend most of her vacations
in a car, probing into unfamiliar corners. She is not required to know how
to drive but she will certainly be expected to read the road map while her
husband drives, and if she can't, or if she's abnormally slow in giving him
help, she's bound to cause trouble. Therefore, you'd think that colleges
which train the bright young women who're going to marry the bright young
men who are going to own the Cadillacs that roar back and forth across this
continent would teach the girls to read maps. None do. They teach a hundred
other useless things, but never a word about the one that will cause the
greatest friction.
