NATURAL THOUGHT

The only real drawback of blogs is that in exploring the bloggy reaches one happens upon so many postings by folks who have clearly never actually tried to put mind to deep thought, or any thought into cogent wording, and just plop it right down there in front of everybody for some very painful reading. Perhaps the most painful are the attempts to soar in observations of 'encounters' with NATURE (as in old-fashioned hand-carved wooden letters covered with flaking green paint on the side of an oak of a size that no longer exists, just outside the kitchen window on the natural cookie box), most commonly as manifested in the real meaning of insect bites. With the always-implicit rush back to the comfies of civilization, where there are no insects and nature is a big smiling grannie with god in her apron pocket. I wonder what will happen to such wholesale supermarket perspectives when things get real, and natural thought is required.
