And A Man There Is Always Alone



Ramblin' Jack Elliott: South Coast



Kingston Trio: South Coast




If the beginning of wisdom is in realizing that one knows nothing, then the beginning of understanding is in realizing that all things exist in accord with a single truth: Large things are made of smaller things.
Drops of ink are shaped into letters, letters form words, words form sentences, and sentences combine to express thought. So it is with the growth of plants that spring from seeds, as well as with walls built from many stones. So it is with mankind, as the customs and traditions of our progenitors blend together to form the foundation for our own cities, history, and way of life.
Be they dead stone, living flesh,
or rolling sea; be they idle times
or events of world-shattering proportion, market days or desperate battles, to this law,
all things hold: Large things are made from small things. Significance is cumulative
--but not always obvious.
--Jim Butcher
