Great Blue Heron at the Beaver Marsh. 11/4 Photo by Kaden Gall.
This was taken at Cuyahoga Valley National Park. What a great photo. Looking at this makes me feel as if I am there, and there is nothing but peace and joy. Take a deep breath.

that being Time. Time, of itself doesn’t seem to much care and it comes and goes as it pleases, mocking the cries of all earthly creatures. In the photo, not the clock of Time, but the mirror of time. Look into it and see the past and the present at once. Alas, it will not allow a glimpse of the future.

The instrument is the oldest electronic musical instrument. It was invented by Léon Theremin in 1920.
I wonder how many proficient players there are. It looks easy enough. If I hadn’t just purchased a keyboard, I do believe I’d purchase a fine one.
…on me…
All these days gone by without any words or photos. I’ll not bore you with the why’s of it, but here are some thoughts that were meant to be shared with you.
And I Hope everyone had a lovely Thanksgiving.

Wouldn’t it be fun to watch the face of someone as they took that message in?
Philosophy Matters
It seems to me that Kant is regularly and unnecessarily picked on. Why? Why is it such sport to make fun of the man? Oh, and a story that I just love:
Kant kept setting himself on fire. As a result, his housekeeper would have to rush in and save him from a hot and painful death. Why? How? We ask. Kant lived in the time of candles to read by, having no electricity. In the evenings after dining, he would settle into his chair for the evening read. Often he would prepare himself for bed prior to settling in, including a night cap designed to keep out the cold.
He would often nod off, the tail of his night cap dangling dangerously close to a burning candle. Eventually the tassel on the end would catch fire, quickly spreading to the rest of his evening attire and him. His housekeeper, on the lookout for the not infrequent occurrence, would rush into the room and put out the fire—and Emanuel.
Apparently his philosophical ruminations did not include lessons learned and the remannering of self. Oh well, we all have blind spots.
