Friends Tom Crane and Bill Schmidt offer some alternatives to the paradox of time and learning I wrote about in Prospective Nostalgia. \u00a0Tom urges stretching the notion of the humanly possible:\u00a0\u201cDo not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; but if a thing is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.\u201d Marcus Aurelius. \u00a0I agree. \u00a0It was just this attitude that let me take up Latin even though I felt languages were beyond me. \u00a0 A helpful reminder.<\/p>\n
Bill recommends reading for the hell of it. \u00a0Walking in the woods for no purpose. \u00a0I read a lot just for the hell of it. \u00a0A lot. \u00a0And I agree that it helps open up human experience. \u00a0I’ve fallen away, recently, from walking in the woods to no purpose. \u00a0Used to do it quite a bit. \u00a0Likewise a helpful reminder.<\/p>\n
I appreciate these thoughts. \u00a0Thanks, guys.<\/p>\n
