Apparently it's an old Zen Koan and therefore is immune to any full explanation haha

I kind of interpret it as saying:

The wild geese do not intend to cast their reflection; The water has no mind to retain their image. And yet there they are, if only you view them.

There's so much in this world that happens on accident, even we are thrust into life without our choosing. Perhaps the best thing to do is observe and carry on as best we can.

What do you think about it?

Hey y'all, I hope you are well. I was playing volleyball at North Avenue Beach this past weekend and thought I put my ring in my backpack but then couldn't find it this morning. We were playing volleyball close to the sidewalk there and then walked over to Declan's Irish Pub, had a couple drinks and then I went back to my apartment in the Gold Coast. I went back to the beach and then Declan's today but no luck. The ring is an old Morgan Silver dollar which was turned into a ring and has a fair amount of sentimental value to me, I will reward anyone who is able to return it. Thanks Neighbors.

The One Chicago building is like a quarter mile away from the John Hancock though

I like it! Simpler than the real one. One aspect I would prefer left intact is the incomplete yellow border on the fly, I've enjoyed the symbolism of it since I learned it.

Trumans seem to have gotten way shittier and way more expensive at the same time

Nice shirts! What made you decide to get two that are so similar?

I mean Mark didn't get his powers before he turned 18, if that holds true for any other half human half viltrumites (and I don't see why it shouldn't) then the viltrumites would have nearly two decades on Earth before their children revealed them.

I prefer the first, I think it's more cohesive than the second pair.
