The sun shines
There was not a cloud in the sky this morning. What a pleasant change. I intended to spend all day working on my magnum opus but couldn't resist the lure of outdoors. I put on my boots and jacket and off I went, hatless and gloveless, it was that warm. A large pond, which for two months earlier in the year was occupied by a solitary swan, was now occupied by two swans. The first swan had found a mate. I wonder if they'll build a nest.
I ran out of podcasts this morning but found another one on this computer. It was in the Photos folder instead of the Podcast one. My index finger must have let go of the mouse too soon when I downloaded it from my USB stick. Finding a file in the wrong folder must be the digital equivalent of finding something that has slipped down the back of a sofa.
Thought for today
The rise of the West had much less to do with democracy than the rise of secularism. The West's advance was chiefly related to the decline in the influence of religion that sought the truth by 'looking in' to see what God had to say, and its replacement by looking out, deriving authority from observation, experimentation and exploration.
