I wrote poetry when I was in my 20’s as an antidote to my political science major. Poly sci taught Students how to use roughly 1000 words where roughly 10 words would do.

Poly sci at the time was not a real major. So it taught students how to be baffling. The saying was if you can’t dazzle them with your brilliance. Baffle them with your BS. Poly sci major’s learned to be bafflers.

That major wasted me. Baffle others and you baffle yourself.

That’s why speaking the truth with simplicity helps both the speaker and the listener.

To this day when I’m way out beyond my ken — I still resort to poetry. A good rhyme heals the spaces between what I think I know, what I know I don’t know and what I don’t know that I don’t know. That’s sec def speech. But concise as I can get for the atheist.

Who shall I say has sent me? (Tell them—I am who I am has sent you.) That’s both true and a play on words—not to mention OT humor)

Thank you for noticing.

A good rhyme heals the spaces between what I think I know, what I know I don't know and what I don't know that I don't know.

Space rhymes with

Between my own hodgepodge of understanding and web translators, I saw on the Hebrew Wikipedia page for the musical staff (called "chamsha" for the five lines), that:

"the space between the lines is called 'beinah'"

בינה

Essentially a noun for "between", but spelled the same as binah, "understanding." To quote from a page I've had open in the background for most of the day:

The root of Bina creates the word "Bein" which means: "between [in the sense of comparison]".

Seen this page?

Jewish Proverbs

There's that same oddly placed proverb that's not exactly a proverb. It's a simple, wise saying that also stands out because it is not formatted like the others, so I had taken a closer look:

It begins with a bullet (all others are line indents), which is ALT 7 which is Unicode 2022.

(7/2022)

All in the timing. There's way more to the saga, but briefly -- when I "initially" followed the edit trail upon finding it on March 9th, it led to a sign in the middle of nowhere that signalled the Exodus. Pretty obvious imagery for anyone willing to.. read between the lines. I can describe further if you so request.

Why say in 15, what you can say in 10? 😉

knowledge

For those who like to play.

Great sign-up date, by the way.

In the future, it wasn't like anyone was going to steal the body.
