Man has made progress from the bow and arrow to the atom bomb, from the bullock cart to the jet plane that travels at 1,600 miles per hour. That is generally called progress. But is there progress in any other direction, inwardly? Have you, as an individual, progressed inwardly? Have you found anything for yourself? We know what other people have said and what they say they have found, but have we found anything for ourselves? Are we more charitable, more kind? Are our minds more expansive and alert, inwardly? Have we put away fear? Without that, to make progress in the world, is to destroy ourselves.

Quick photo of day 17's dram, Chivas' Royal Salute 21-year-old blended Scotch whisky at 40% ABV. Honey and oak on the nose; orange, spices, and more oak on the palate; slightly tannic finish with maybe just a hint of smoke. Looking at the bottle cost, not really enough bang for the buck, as it were.

Here we’ve got my entry for #gobtober #day17 and the prompt is #archer

I wanted to do something silly / ridiculous for this, since I so commonly draw effective warrior types. So, ummm… this happened.
