Thursday Nov. 3, 2005 - Year 3, Day 227 - where’s Claire ?
like a Simon & Garfunkel song . . . slip sliding away, crunchy ice everywhere, -5C / 25 F this morning under light cloud . . calm . . . snow will probably disappear in a day or so; so nice to see everything bright & clean as opposed to pre-winter drab & dusty
sometimes we strain hard to see things deeply or to see into the future while the most important simple truths are often in our face, in our hands but we are visually impaired to see things as they are
I remember as a youngster hearing about clairvoyance for the first time – about insightful visions of things to be . . I thought it was a writer named Claire Voyance
from a modern day prophet, a timeless axiom, explaining definitively why we can be so focused & so ignorant all at the same time . . in just 12 words
‘ A man sees what he wants to see, And disregards the rest.’ – Paul Simon
last night’s little epiphany – I realize I am no longer seeing the group as a speakers club – but more as a group of friends who happen to run a Toastmasters meeting each time we gather; I doubt I am alone in that view
