It is 4:38 AM on Saturday morning. It is completely dark outside with the only a one inch light out on the ocean as the cruise ship heading for San Francisco passed by. We’re in the middle of a storm and I can hear the wind rushing through the trees. I made it to the…… Continue reading Journal Entry – 2.18.2017

Heraclitus quotes
My favorite quotes from Heraclitus: πολυμαθίη νόον οὐ διδάσκειMuch learning does not teach understanding ποταμοῖσι τοῖσιν αὐτοῖσιν ἐμϐαίνουσιν, ἕτερα καὶ ἕτερα ὕδατα ἐπιρρεῖ.Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers. χρὴ γὰρ εὖ μάλα πολλῶν ἴστορας φιλοσόφους ἄνδρας εἶναιMen that love wisdom must be acquainted with very many things indeed. τὰ ὄντα…… Continue reading Heraclitus quotes
