These posts used to be called “Things That Make You Laugh, Think, or Both” and I have finally settled on a new title, “Reflection on the Trail”. Sometimes you just have to stop and admire either comedy or beauty and sometimes you come across something that makes you think. I hope these posts served that purpose.
Sometimes you just have to ask, what were they thinking?

Returning to G.K. Chesterton’s Orthodoxy, here is another favorite quote:
Mysticism keeps men sane. As long as you have mystery you have health; when you destroy mystery you create morbidity. … His (the Mystic) spiritual sight is stereoscopic, like his physical sight: he sees two different pictures at once and yet sees all the better for that. Thus he has always believed that there was such a thing as fate, but such a thing as free will also. Thus he believed that children were indeed the kingdom of heaven, but nevertheless ought to be obedient to the kingdom of earth. He admired youth because it was young and age because it was not.
