A quotation from Nietzsche:
«
Those who know they are profound strive for clarity. Those who would like to seem profound strive for obscurity. For the crowd believes that if it cannot see to the bottom of something it must be profound. It is timid and dislikes going into the water.

Dear Friends of wer-lobsters,
Glad to be back on #Univeseodon with an old #avatar and an #empty mind. #Hope everyone is as #well as #unexpected. I have been programming in #bashscript on #Puppy #Linux, roving the fediverse and learning about:
- foods made without fish (I know it's strange but they exist)
- atheism for theists
- not drinking whines and wines of Oz (earthy)
- not swearing in other languages
- hats that reach to the ground (They are IT)
- Arti-ficial Insurrection (Reboot Power)
... and all manner of #wonder, irrelevence, trivia and #profundity (not in any order)
oh yes "Hell O Whirled" ... think that is moi all up to dates ...

#Legend has it that these four #healers, who lived between what was traditionally expected of #males and #females, transferred their curative energy to the stones before departing.
