SA: Thank you Dan. I mean it. This is a compliment to me, for, I do try to enjoy the mundane, boring everyday living. I really do. At times, when I get bored, I sit back, and love it! These are the moments when I enjoy the world as is, without trying to spice it up with too much hot sauce and not enough of the main course. I like spice, believe me, but I can sit and eat plain old rice and that's what I desire at times, the plain old is very satisfying. I've been on many hiking trails and some are more exuberant than others. There is this one that is so simple and boring. My wife has gone and it's really nothing. You walk, camp overnight, and walk out in a trail that circles, but no big boulders, no waterfall, no large creeks, some smaller streams, no vistas, no large hills to climb, just plain-old PA hills, and the trail goes through woods, after woods, after woods. No natural monument, etc... It is a simple walk in and out, and I feel nothing major has happened. Yet, that's exactly what I like about it, and why I go back to the trail time after time again. Plain-old woods, with plain-old PA trees (no spectacle trees, the same old ones for PA), plain-old quiet... I love it! This plain-old has actually been an endeavour of mine to share on the forum. The everyday simple, same-old, same-old. Don't get me wrong. Some intellectual posts are good, some very good. I like them all, except for those that I've come out in public and let them know how I don't value their philosophical position. Sometimes I find people try to philosophize something grand and colorful with this almighty-type grand scheme of how life is with words upon words, logic built upon logic, hey, I'm sure I can still write in such ways, on and on and on, and the design I could weave would be pages long on how 1+1=2 and experience an ecstatic state of eureka, trying to get that next intellectual high - oooooOOOOOOAAAA... and then I wake up the next day it's still plain-old sun coming up and going down... yet the colors, the beautiful colors or the gray clouds hiding the sun, and oh... what was I talking about again? Thanks, seriously, you've pegged a true effort of mine. woods, SA __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
