sunrise this morning near Asilomar!




I wonder if that fisherman knew he was in the path of that path. I didnt even know he was until I got home and noticed it. I do love Pacific Grove in moments like these!

To be authentic. THAT is the answer.

To modify Shakespeare so the college student can better understand "what's happening" is like taking a masterful work of music and replacing the best parts with something like "E-I-E-I-O".  As if the actual writing is not the composition of the art itself.  Why not just paint a huge smile on the Mona Lisa so nobody has to wonder what she's thinking, or forbid the thought, understand it from one's own perspective.
Understand "her", rather. Or DaVinci, himself.

I think the professor of the logic class I am taking this semester would call that last comment a "rather/or" Syllogism.


Funny the way we simplify Shakespeare to better understand it, yet complicate what is instinctively obvious in order to become "logical".
