Out on a Limb

This is Amorella. At the end of this limb are some smaller branches. These are as orndorff’s fingers from my perspective. The water below is as the keyboard. I use his mind but sometimes pictures are words in themselves.

I don’t know what to say. I will have to think about this while wife and I take our mostly daily walk.

Later. Well, it could also represent that I have roots and a trunk and am organic and slow growing. If that is the case, I can accept it, especially if the thought is for humankind. We all have our roots and trunks are slower growing than some species. People do leaf out, sometimes even if they are hanging on a limb. And sometimes the reflection of individuals as well as groups is somewhat muddy or inconclusive.

Or, it could be that when you see the small perpendicular limb in the center of the photo you will discover five smaller branches on it that make me think of fingers.

I have to admit I didn’t see that earlier.

I do not know how your mind is going to go orndorff and I wanted to see if we actually are focused on the same things.

Well, it appears the we do not always focus alike which is very odd when you think about it.

When who thinks about it? You or me?

I’m trying to think of a self-relative sentence that would fit here.

Thinking and focusing are not always the same.

That doesn’t seem right. Focusing is like concentration and concentration is thinking.

Look it up.

One of the meanings under ‘thinking’ is “to center one’s thoughts on [a subject].  A meaning for ‘focus’ is “a point of concentration” and a meaning of ‘concentration’ is “direction of attention to a single object”.

However, I see you are correct in context. I was trying to think of a self-relative sentence. If I had actually thought of one I would have then focused on it. Thank you, Amorella.

You are welcome.

I just thought of a good self-relative sentence. Actually, it is my favorite. I read this many years ago in Scientific American. The editors had had a contest on the best self-relative sentence and this one won that year: “This sentance has three erors.” I used to use this one as an example in class too and I usually put it on my logic lecture test.

How does this example of a self-relative sentence relate to the earlier conversation?

I have no idea.
