Perhaps a brief interlude is warranted on this site. A few whispers from the past follow:
"And as all things have been arose from one by ye mediation of one: so all things have their birth from this one thing by adaptation."
(Isaac Newton -- 1680)
"Listening not to me but to the Logos
it is wise to agree that all things are One."
All things come out of the One and the One out of all things. .... I see nothing but Becoming. Be not deceived! It is the fault of your limited mind and not the fault of the essence of things if you believe that you see firm land anywhere in the ocean of Becoming and Passing. You need names for things, just as if they had a rigid permanence, but the very river in which you bathe a second time is no longer the same one which you entered before.
'You cannot step into the same river twice;
All things flow; nothing endures'
(Heraclitus -- 500 BC)

My nimbic mindwatched the cloudswatching mein their whitenessas blue bargesflowed acrossmy brownDanube eyes.
