"Tree fox"?
"Tree fox"? I would be thrilled if I were one. Maybe I should start working on it. Ah?
Gray fox - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The gray fox's ability to climb trees is shared only with the Asian Raccoon dog among canids. Its strong, hooked claws allow it to scramble up trees to escape ...
To The Magnificent Group
You all are a truly magnificent group of people. The health of the group reinforces individual health and vice versa. They form the beneficious circle of health, as opposed to the vicious circle of illness.
I am very sorry about some of my childish and immature behavior last night.

To be a philosopher...
To be a philosopher is not a profession and is not a calling, it does not necessarily require a special training, although it is very desirable; Socrates did not have one. It is a mode of existence, and the only one in which philosophers are able to exist. It is also a curse, but a sweet curse. The need, and the all compelling need to try to question and to understand everything and everyone and to search for the truth inevitably brings, most often, the deepest pains:
"For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increaseth knowledge, increaseth sorrow." - (Ecclesiastes 1:17-18); and, very rarely, the most sublime pleasures.
It is the road without an end and without a definitive purpose; it is a scream in the void, a lonely speck in the ocean, a momentous ray of lightning illuminating the Being and the World.

To Excel
To Excel:
Excel, Excel; in all you do
You're doing swell, e con sonrisa, too
You serve us excellently, guy!
But always strive, and always try
For definition of success
Is "eccelenza" in excess

God is The Ideal Of Absolute Power And Perfection
God is The Ideal Of Absolute Power And Perfection, and like any ideal, does not exist and does not need to exist in reality; but exists to balance, organise, focus and attract the reality in its strife for the approximation of this ideal. It consists of knowledge, love and fear, mixed in various proportions, according to the needs of those who mix them.

Religiosity and Spirituality
Religiosity is a bottomless well and everyone gets out if it as much and as deep as they are capable to. Spirituality is much broader: it is not a well, it is an ocean.
Religiosnost - eto bezdonniy kolodets i kazhdiy cherpayet iz nego nastolko mnogo i nastolko gluboko, naskolko oni na eto sposobni. Dukhovnost namnogo shire: eto ne kolodets, eto - okean.

•Frank Wess - Reeds
•Marshal Royal - Reeds
•Frank Foster - Reeds
•Charles Fowlkes - Reeds
•Eddie Jones - Bass
•Sonny Payne - Drums
•Irene Reid - Vocals
•Freddie Green - Guitar
Track List:
1.Easin It
2.Youre Too Beautiful
3.Corner Pocket
4.Stella By Starlight
5.Back To The Apple
6.I Needs To Be Beed With
7.I Got Rhythm
8.Back Water Blues
9.Alexanders Ragtime Band
10.Old Man River
11.One OClock Jump
A lot of words can be used to describe the performance of the Count Basie Orchestra on Live in '62, an hour-long concert recorded in Sweden, but one will suffice: swingin'. No big band, not even the great Duke Ellington's, ever swung as relentlessly, or effortlessly, as Basie's various ensembles, and this one is a prime example. Having split up his so-called "Old Testament" band in the early '50s, Basie was at it again a few years later with this "New Testament" outfit, which featured great players like trumpeters Snooky Young and Thad Jones, trombonist Quentin Jackson, saxophonists Marshal Royal and Frank Wess, the eternal Freddie Green on guitar, and the amazing drummer Sonny Payne. The 11 tunes performed here (and reproduced with surprisingly crisp, clear audio and black & white visuals) include some Basie staples (like Green's "Corner Pocket" and Basie's own signature "One O'Clock Jump"), a few jazz classics ("I Got Rhythm," "Old Man River," "Stella by Starlight"), and three vocal numbers featuring Irene Reid. Every one of them is a delight, with superb arrangements highlighting the band's ensemble playing, masterful control of dynamics, excellent soloing, more than a few touches of humor... and, of course, that ineffable swing. Tough to pick a particular highlight, but Payne's lengthy solo spot on "Old Man River" might be it--not only is he a sensational drummer, spinning out rhythms as if they were melodies and never once losing the tempo, but the way he tosses and juggles his sticks is marvelously entertaining. A thorough and informative accompanying booklet more than makes up for the lack of bonus features. --Sam Graham

Isn't it natural?
First I do things, and only after that I am able to understand what has been done. Isn't it natural?
It matters not what people say, and not even what they do, but what they are
