Via Daily Dharma / The Evolution of Understanding:
When
I arrived at a more intimate knowledge, I came to the point where I saw
that mountains are not mountains, and rivers are not rivers. But now
that I have got its very substance, I am at rest. For it’s just that I
see mountains once again as mountains, and rivers once again as rivers.

Viva Hans Rosling!
Woke up to find that dear, dear Hans Rosling, has passed away. The world has lost a good, decent man who offered us all a postive message using data... I am crushed.
Take time today to listen to him. Viva Hans Rosling!
