Tracks vanishing in the mist have a strange symbolism. Like to never take a train to some other world as master Miyazaki had portayed. The train would be full of spooky strangers anyway. Only ghosts could travel to such a mist. And yet, the hope lingers. Or is it a fear of that actually happening one day? To fly away or to become a ghost, there is no difference...
As every year, on the third Thursday of November, we celebrate World Philosophy Day. We are few philosophers and not very well known, but our activity of reflection and teaching of this wonderful discipline is increasingly important in these complicated times we live in.
I personally teach philosophy to young people and it is the most exciting activity I have ever done.
Socrates, Aristotle, Descartes, Hume, Kant are the great minds that will help us to understand ourselves. Sapere Aude!
Happy World Philosophy Day
Philosophy, most broadly viewed, is the critical survey of existence from the standpoint of value.
[Sidney Hook]
Japanese
(n.) the philosophy of constant improvement.
Every day is an opportunity to improve, even if it is only by 1%.
It's not about being invincible, it's about being unstoppable.

The Philosopher, Heraclitus said that you cannot step in the same river twice. Although this is the sea, it is my portrayal of that notion.

The Dugald Stewart Monument, on Calton Hill, Edinburgh, Scotland.
Dedicated to the Scottish philosopher Dugald Stewart, a leading philosopher of his time. Stewart held the chair of Moral Philosophy at the University of Edinburgh, teaching philosophy, natural philosophy, economics, logic, and Greek for 42 years, from 1786 until his death in 1828. The monument was designed by noted architect William Henry Playfair, responsible for so much of Edinburgh's architecture. It was completed in 1831, and is a category A listed.
Taken with a Nikon D40, fitted with a Tamron 70-300mm F4/5.6 DI LD (Nikon AFS) lens and processed in GIMP and Photoscape.
Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower and draws all good things towards you ( Quote: Maharishi Mahesh Yogi)
It is hard not to get just a little philosophical at times like this. If a photographer is not present in a forest, will the leaves turn color anyway? This is no more idiotic of a sentence than asking the more familiar philosophical question, "if a tree falls in the forest and no one is present, does it make a sound?
I prefer the more modern question, "If a tree falls in the forest, is it the man's fault?"
If there is a sub theme this morning on our walk through Invermay, it is not powerlines (though one is shown here). It's actually corners. This beautiful Federation style house stands on a corner. It always looks its best in sunlight.

Well at least it is the Tamar Wetlands. Not a lake, but technically part of the Tamar estuary system. Plenty of Australian Shovelers here too.

Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a 2014 book by the Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom from the University of Oxford. It argues that if machine brains surpass human brains in general intelligence, then this new superintelligence could replace humans as the dominant lifeform on Earth. Sufficiently intelligent machines could improve their own capabilities faster than human computer scientists, and the outcome could be an existential catastrophe for humans.
#1 Believe and it shall be yours.
#2 Where there is hope there can be faith. Where there is faith, miracles can occur.
#3 Hope is desperation. Faith is relaxation.
#4 May we grow beautiful as we grow wise.
#5 The one great thing about life is laughter
#6 How you climb up the mountain is just as important as how you get down the mountain. And, so it is with life, which for many of us becomes one big gigantic test followed by one big gigantic lesson. In the end, it all comes down to one word. grace. It's how you accept winning and losing, good luck and bad luck, the darkness and the light.
#7 One of the best tools for longevity and good health is not just taking a walk outdoors, but taking your walk while holding the hand of God. When we walk in gratitude for each and every moment, we empower ourselves by empowering our spirits. When we breathe in nature through our eyes, ears and lips, we become certain that not only are our souls eternal, but that God knows how to manage our lives, our troubles, our worries and our days better than we do. So today and everyday "let go and let God".

Tomorrow we'll tell the story of Olegas Truchanas (1923-1972) and how he became one of Australia's most influential wilderness photographers and environmentalists.
Truchanas arrived in Tasmania as a refugee from Lithuania in 1948. A skilled bushman and canoeist he took to exploring the Tasmanian wilderness. But in the early 1950s he took up photography as a way of recording the beauty he saw around him.
This beautiful Rolleiflex Twin Lens Reflex camera enabled him to take medium format 6x6 negatives. You'll see on the wall behind his tent in the This Vanishing World: Photography of Olegas Truchanas exhibition the large square format black and whites. These were taken with this camera. But as lovely as the Rolleiflex was to use, it really couldn't handle the rough wilderness conditions and he needed to find a more practical camera.

En la estética zen, el concepto de sabi está ligado a la sencillez y el concepto de wabi a la humildad en los resultados. Algo tan sencillo y humilde como la presente imagen goza de una única, sencilla y exquisita belleza.
