Scunnered: more on tartan existentialism via Haiku

Some more wisdom from Scunnered:

ARISTOTLE ON SCOTLAND

Nature produces

nothing without good reason:

except midges and neds.

 

BLIND MAN'S BLUFF

Me? Humility?

Noted for humilty

me, noted for it.

 

SEE

Ordinary folk

on investigation are

extraordinary.

 

And finally….not an answer to Dawkins or Darwin – more a question fatal to the dawkins mindset

DARWINS PETIT EVOLUTION

There's no designer

in evolution. But what

of clear light of love?

My book of the Year for the dentist's waiting room, the long checkout queue, an easily held read while drinking coffee on the move, a devotional time when you don't feel particularly devout, placing surreptitiously inside your personal organiser to help you make it through tedious meetings, and nplacing beside the phone for those conversations that go on and on….. just a few suggestions on how to get the best out of this gem.
