[1965 - About 525 people begin 54 mile march from Selma, Alabama, to capitol Montgomery]
Enlightenment
The path to enlightenment lies along the single surface of a mobius strip. It is thus a road of finite length, but it has no beginning and no end. Have you noticed that when viewed from a certain perspective the mobius strip looks just like the mathematical symbol for infinity?
Ants too may trudge along a path on the mobius strip, blindly following the one ahead and sensing the one behind.
Ants do not look up to see the stars. The stars do not care if anyone looks at them.
He who knows others is wise; He who knows himself is enlightened.
Lao Tzu
William's Whimsical Words:
Those footprints ye occasionally stumble upon along thy path are probably thine own.
