to nobody in particular:
...i write this blog on the eleventh night of august, and to many of you, or at least the one or two of you that may actually read this, perhaps the importance of this date is yet an enigma...
...exactly one year ago, i began to test the theory that "you learn something new every day", and on the twelfth day of august, i started recording my daily learnings...
...three hundred and sixty five days later, i can honestly say that i believe this theory to be true -- with limitations...
...such limitations include: personal motivation, intentional interaction, boring living, lack of imagination -- if any or all of these are present, this could hinder one from learning something new every day...
...so go on -- go and live life, go and learn new things -- there is a whole world out there to discover, a plethera of lessons to learn and things to know...
...but as i've recently re-valued, in discussion with a friend, that in a culture where knowledge and self-discovery is cherished, perhaps wisdom should be sought after most of all...
...what good is anything without wisdom to accompany it?...
-----
and now, the last (and final?) installment if theory testing for this past year:
..."you learn something new every day"...
two days ago, i learned: Mauerpark Flohmarkt + two strollers = stupid idea...
yesterday, i learned: it's hard to tell what the ratio is for how much manpower/"doing" does and how much prayer/"relying" does...
today, i learned: no matter how many people there are in number, just add one more, because God is there all the time anyway...

...this was a pretty intense movie, and well-done...
