I've probably made him sound silly, but he IS fond of psychobabble and somewhat simplistic statements. I don't let him get away with it too often. I make sure he earns his money and don't let him get away with such laziness. I just wasn't sure this was one of those occasions. And he's not really silly. He's just used to saying those things that everyone seems to accept as true. In fact, he says that's my gift. To help people examine their accepted but not closely examined beliefs. (Isn't that a nice way of saying it?)
I did ask for clarifation of the paradox, in the somewhat petulant way I was feeling at the moment. But he's figured out that it's better to let these things seep in and think them through on my own, and then he'll comment on my thoughts and clarify that way. Because I'm stubborn as a mule. :) And because he knows I think about what he says, even if I object to it at the time.
I'm glad the sun is warming your spirit, Iso. I imagine the winter is tough for someone who loves nature as much as you do. I kind of like winter. The stark bareness of the trees, the more muted colors. Summer sometimes seems like too much. Going outside in summer is an assault on my senses. I envy you your area though. The flowers grow so well there.
