Open


IF YOU
CLING
TO AN
IDEA
as the unalterable truth,
then when the truth does come
in person and knocks at your
door, you may not be able to open
it and let the truth in.
Udana Sutta
I seem to be gathering quotes today. Lazy me.
For instance, I watched a most
excellent movie last night, Werner Herzog's,
"Encounters at the End of the World".
Quote later.

This is an incredible journey to the South Pole.
Antarctica becomes both otherworldly and extremely
human. The inhabitants bring their particular skills,
but also wise and funny individuality. A wonder of
courage and resilience. And unimaginable beauty.

To quote Werner Herzog:

Reality outdoes all your fantasies.

Kat-
Thanks for your comments.
Curious about the chickens. I honestly don't recall if there was one in "Encounters"....No, that was a penguin!
Love Hardy, and the TV version of "Brideshead"...is my all time fav.
