The sky, like the sea, is selective

By Dave English

The sea is selective… slow at recognition of effort and aptitude, but fast at sinking the unfit.

Felix Riesenberg

The sky and the sea share uncaring ways. Beautiful, but deadly. Rewarding the worthy only with temporary treasures.

Entirely devoted to the sky . . .

By Dave English

“A single lifetime, even though entirely devoted to the sky, would not be enough for the investigation of so vast a subject.”

Lucius Annaeus Seneca (4 BCE–65 CE)

Seneca wrote this about 2000 yrs ago. And we’re still learning!
