Cogito Naranjado Sum



So we  think, 
Therefore are,
And must be here
To think, but first
Learn by asking
How: how is such
Thought defined 
As much by what is 
As what is not?
So all that is not me,
I must also be.

    1. Kind Margie, can you imagine me ever peeling that orange? Can't do it. It'll be the last one in the bowl!

  2. Or are we perhaps simply a figment of our own imagination, of that of others perhaps?

    1. That would indeed be part of the question.

    2. You and Norma are an ideal combination of the antidote to what C.P. Snow called 'The Two Cultures'; way back when: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Two_Cultures

    3. Thanks Will, If the sciences and humanities are in combination here, we have indeed made some progress. Give Norma and me another 45 years and we'll have the whole culture unified.

    1. Oh I doubt I could manage that consistently but it's a nice idea!

  4. I think I don't think enough before I speak but know it's safe to say that is one very sweet looking orange!
