Friday Reflections 0212

Dec 02, 2022

Happy Friday everyone. Here’s something to reflect on over the weekend perhaps…

Today’s read is about 6-9 minutes. Post read pondering and existential crisis not included. Exciting and terrifying in equal amounts; I find this fascinating. Even if it makes us uncomfortable, it’s worth considering all the possibilities that exist for our species. We have been around for 300K years, and look how much has changed in the last few thousand. And hundred. And decade. An increasingly rapid ascent/decent (you select the word most appropriate). Do you even think we will last another few hundred thousand years?

So much to ponder.

Last week’s riddle question and answer; I have many ears, this may be true. But no matter how you shout, I’ll never hear you. What am I? Answered correctly by a few of you – A cornfield

This week’s riddle is;  Only one colour, but not one size, Stuck at the bottom, yet easily flies. Present in sun, but not in rain, Doing no harm, and feeling no pain. What is it?

Time for a moment to reflect, I think.
