Entrance Door—Thursday Doors

The first photo shows stairs leading to the Cesky Krumlov castle in the Czech Republic.

What I like about the dark door is how it emphasizes by contrast the bright colors in the walls on either side of it.

The other photo shows how the door was held open. The hardware looks like it could also be used to lock the door although I wonder if it is ever closed.

Philosophical Foam—Six Sentence Story

George decided to write his Philosophy of Everything so future generations could be as confused as he was.

He wrote and wrote and wrote explaining how spacetimes instantiated invisible worlds wherever a wavefunction collapsed. Not liking the idea of other people’s minds getting in the way with objections, he reduced them to mindless matter. He called his branch of philosophical foam The New Mysterianism of the Matter Mind.

Eventually George published his book.

Not even the devil bothered to read it.

Relic—Six Sentence Story

Looking at the relics of his past, those lingering memories of his old habits, George couldn’t see how he got from there to here no matter how many self-help programs he pursued. Oh, sure, he gave most of those programs five-stars, but he knew none of them helped and none of them did.

The problem was that it’s hard to love when one loves to whine. And George’s imagination gave him plenty of targets for his wrath.

Then George gave up, figuring it was most likely all his own fault. Laughing, the Lord said, “Finally!”

Don’t move your mind away from Him.
The devil’s light is nightmare grim.

but you don’t have to move.
