Scarborough Fair: Meaning

Scarborough Fair : Meaning    Simon & Garfunkel's      version of a very old         folk song.       youtu.be/-BakWVXHSug I finally realized what this song is about... around a year ago, when I was 60 years old.     Here's the meaning: In the 17-hundreds, a Man meets a Traveler who is on his way to the Scarborough village a few miles away, on England’s North Sea coast, where there is a fair going on.     The Man tells this Traveler that there is a Woman there, in the village, who was once his True Love.      She is no longer the Man's True Love.      The Man tells the Traveler that if he should meet this Woman, that he would like the Traveler to speak to this woman and pass along a message. The message is that this Woman will be the Man's True Love again; but only if the Woman performs certain tasks.     The Man describes these tasks to the Traveler; each task more impossible than the last.     The former True Love of The Man will never be able to satisfy the

I No Longer Agree with the Theory of Evolution

I No Longer Agree with the Theory of Evolution.      I have over a period of time lost, or somehow gained,  information that developed organically in my thoughts so that I no longer agree with the Theory of Evolution.     One could say that my thoughts have evolved! And they would be correct! Whether my thoughts have evolved in a good way or not is irrelevant!     I don't believe in the Creationist's theories either, although there are two or three very good creationist examples that make sense to me.      However,  I have to separate myself from the Creationists because, aside from those two or three examples,  they have many, many more beliefs that are absolutely, scientifically proven to be false.      As a side note, Pulitzer prize writer, Minister, dissident, and frequent speaker,  Christopher Hedges, was speaking to a large audience and he landed on the topic of Creationists. He stated that he had an opportunity to go on a walking tour in a "Creationist Museum"

Women's Swimming Excitement     And   Women's Gymnastics ... Simone Biles , only 4'8" & the best all round gymnist I've seen in 40 years (Nadia Comaneci).     Here are a couple clips of Simone doing moves never seen before.  The Vault : she pushes off the vault to reach a height of 12 feet (See photo). Most home ceilings are 8 feet - add 4 feet to that! Tumbling . This is Simone's strongest event. 1. " The Biles " Pass - 2 flips 3 twists. 2.  Defying Gravity . I love this Pass. In the photo, you can see that her toes are 6' off the ground. I'm 6', so imagine me standing there as her toes ruffle my hair. Or I wonder if she could j0ust land on my head!
