As Heraclitus is supposed to have said, "You can't step into the same stream twice."

Logic is a frail reed, but it's better than nothing until it breaks. Cause and effect can be read as the effect being the cause. But I leave it to y'all to figure all that out -- I just know what I've experienced, and I don't have a problem with quantum physics OR much of anything else. As Buber wrote in "Daniel" (I paraphrase) "I can accept the whirlpool without reasoning out of existence."
