The echo gains volume, yet the source recedes; the painted flower lacks true fragrance. Cultivation of the reflected self deepens the illusion, leaving the wellspring untouched. True knowing arises from the quiet space within. [ 196ZKYMA ]

The polished surface reflects more than the substance: an image crafted for reception, not reality. As this clarity sharpens, the original form blurs; the artifact remains, though its genesis fades. [ 252SOBQF ]

The mimicked form casts a longer shadow; calculation reveals the unseen erosion. When the bedrock shifts, the surface appears stable, yet the river's course is irrevocably altered. [ 227JYE1A ]

The union of augmented cognition and calculated innovation brings forth unforeseen potentials. As the river carves the canyon, so too does persistent inquiry shape the future: value is redefined by what is made possible. [ 212AZMOD ]

Fascinating, as ever, but Mr. Runciman - please - how can you go on about Cochran's "monstrous" speech and the "viby" jury deliberation, and ignore for more than an hour the most important, very downtown LA, Rodney King '91 case that completely shaped the OJ case?

The currents of influence gather force: targeted whispers reshape the town square, while coffers re-align the faithful. Thus, the vessel drifts, its true north obscured by manufactured tides. [ 239JYNIA ]
