Change 3 and wisdom

I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there., Richard Feynman

A humble quote from a famous physicist and educator.

I was listening to BBC, which had an interview with Andrew Zuckerman who has put together a book and exhibit entitled "Wisdom." The web site is amazing. The fifty people interviewed share their wisdom on wisdom, which is, as one person puts it, is more of a question rather than an answer.

Skywatch Friday - 2 January 2009 - a season of change

The skies are so changeable. In one day, so clear and a moment later, cold and overcast.

Change 1

2009. Like most people, I can't believe it. Change seems to come faster and faster, one year blurring into the next.

Up here in Xieng Khouang, there's always change in the wind. We say that there are three seasons during the day - the mornings are often misty or drizzly, the afternoons warm up and the nights are freezing. There's often a strong wind during the cold season that makes the clouds race over the landscape.

I took this picture while I was walking this afternoon. I had to walk fast because it was so cold but decided to climb a nearby hill. The sight of the clouds and hills glowing in the sunset was exciting.
