“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge.
That myth is more potent than history.
That dreams are more powerful than facts.
That hope always triumphs over experience.
That laughter is the only cure for grief.
And I believe that love is stronger than death.”

“Consciousness, unprovable by scientific standards,
is forever, then, the impossible phantom
in the predictable biologic machine,
and your every thought a genuine supernatural event.
Your every thought is a ghost, dancing.”

“When I start a new seminar
I tell my students that I will undoubtedly contradict myself,
and that I will mean both things.
But an acceptance of contradiction is no excuse for fuzzy thinking.
We do have to use our minds as far as they will take us,
yet acknowledge that they cannot take us
all the way.”
.
Madeleine L’Engle

It is amazing that some of those caladiums can get any photosynthesis done with foliage that seems to lack green chlorophyll.
I have wondered about that , Tony , especially the pure white ones . But they are vigorous plants , with lots of new growth , so some how they are getting it done 😊 The mysterious plant kingdom !
Oh so nice and fav takeaway is:
t an acceptance of contradiction is no excuse for fuzzy thinking
