Truth. . . . . . . . . . . .what is it? How do we know it when we see it? What difference does it make? Where does it take us? Is there a universal truth? or many universal truths. Is something always true or sometimes true? Can we be absolutely sure anything is true?
If you expect me to answer any of these questions you are dreaming. But truth was a topic of discussion today and it is almost impossible to reach a consensus, even between two people who often think alike. What is amazing is that humans are driven together by elemental forces only to split apart like atoms exploding into their requisite parts in the new Large Hadron Collider in Cern, Switzerland. What is even more amazing is that people can learn to live together and harness the elemental forces that drive us together and apart. Over 90% of the Zuni people live within one mile of each other despite living on a fairly large reservation, there are 250,000 Navajo living on a reservation the size of Connecticut and they are so spread out they don't have one town the size of Zuni. The key of course is finding your balance as an individual and a group and the ability to walk in someone else's shoes.
I walked in my own shoes today but not much happened. It is probably a good thing, a time to reflect and determine if we can figure out truth. I drop Chuck at the airport tomorrow and then it is on to Zuni. Jon
