Thursday – A Little Personal – Lucy and Twiggy Discuss Stuff

~ John W. Howell

 

“So, Lucy. What did you mean by the comment, “The more things change, the more they stay the same?”

“It is just an observation about life, Little One.”

“Yeah, but what does it mean?”

“It means there is a certain continuum that seems to control what we do.”

“Can you repeat that in some language I can understand?”

“Let me give you an example. It is starting to turn to fall, right?”

“The leaves are starting to come down, and the day temperatures are less hot, so I would say it is starting to turn to fall.”

“Notice you used your experience of past falls to compare with what is going on now.”

“I didn’t think about it, but now I see that for sure.”

“So my point is even though the weather is changing and it may seem like a new thing, in reality, it is the same changes as last year.

“So the more the weather changes, the more it is the same as last year.”

“I believe you’ve got it.”

“How about another example?”

“Humm. Well, the more our need for food changes, the more our food keeps us satisfied the same way.”

“I think that example was driven by the sound of kibble hitting the bowl.”

“Maybe after lunch, I can do better.”

“I think we have had enough philosophy for one day.”

“Okay then. I think tag will work better.”

  10. “Maybe after lunch, I can do better.” … switch ‘coffee’ for ‘lunch’ and that’s me in a nutshell, lols. I’d get on well with your girls, John! Thanks for sharing this bit of Thursday fun. Have a lovely day. Hugs 💕🙂

  17. We all have muscle memory we rely on to execute the daily repetitive tasks we do, and as well almost always follow the same behavioral patterns from years before as we go from one season to another. A very philosophical walk with Lucy and Twiggy today, John!

  42. You should consider doing an audio version. So many people are hooked on to soundbytes delivered by various types of gurus to deliver them from taking ownership of their life. From these two at least the soundbytes will be honest.
