Riddle Sideways: those who are the legs that our world view is built upon
Riddle Sideways: read a "No Title" blog and can use the last sentence over and over
Adams Dubrovna: you see blog when first published before final editing so I am not sure which sentence
Riddle Sideways: "The above paragraph is one reason I must resist the siren's call to sail the same course in the same ship with all the same cargo stored below."
Riddle Sideways: might be able to use that as a disclaimer below All writings
Adams Dubrovna: ahh, same sentence
Adams Dubrovna: we want to find our way back to comfortable place even though there is new evidence that the earlier place was missing info
Riddle Sideways: Somebody(who?) said "You can never go Home again"

Adams Dubrovna: Shiva is the subject and the object
Adams Dubrovna: when all is in harmony, the subject and object are aligned with one another

Adams Dubrovna: must pull away at the same speed and distance
