Life's Plan

It's hard to say where decisions will lead. Life surprises me when things do work to plan.

Open space at Bear Creek, Colorado Springs.

Maybe life has a plan of its own, but it seems to be a needlessly complicated one.

Great Books (above)
Great Apes (below)

A thin shelf is all that separates the Great Books of Homo sapiens from the Great Apes below. Sometimes we are intellectual, and wholly rational beings. Other times our lives are bestial, and best observed as one would study natural phenomena.

Aside:
Q: Why is 'Homo' capitalized, but 'sapiens' is not??
A: Like all Latin taxonomic names, Homo sapiens is italicized. The genus name (Homo) is capitalized, and the species name (sapiens) is not. ref
