I feel I'm on the brink of premature geezerhood, but it could be just the aftereffects of fading youthful omniscience.

It is amazing how much stupider we become as we age . . . if we are attaining anything like wisdom.
Young men and women know everything. Somebody changes all the rules while they age, however, and they arrive at geezerhood rather slack-jawed at the contemplation of how little they know, and how much they still have to learn.

I was just thinking and thought about this.
The big bang is only as loud as your heart...
That is unrelated but does apply... just some of my sappy poetic bilge.
It is amazing that wisdom can come out of seemingly nowhere and be so profound...

"every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter. The sitter is merely the accident, the occasion. It is not he who is revealed by the painter; it is rather the painter who, on the coloured canvas, reveals himself. The reason I will not exhibit this picture is that I am afraid that I have shown in it the secret of my own soul."
Oscar Wilde
"The Picture of Dorian Gray"

But, then, Wilde never set up a character but to mock him.
And the serpent swallows its own tail.

In no way was that statement profound...you need to learn the difference between non-crap, and mumbling.

Some people feel words and apparently some don't...

Are the people from China or is the transparent substance from China? Or are they made of china? I'm so confused now, I can't even make it across the street to my friend's house. I'll have to meditate here.

It does works for that, it does. You just don't want to expose it to a dry or tacky environment.
