Simon Says .. What Exactly? Ponderables

The word ponderables has it origins in the 1600’s. Where does our mind wonder when not directed. From the grave to the sublime, from the victim to the empowered, from serious to silly .. Tonght Simon & Kim will share some of their ponderables, and hope you might join in too. What are those nagging questions we revisit in our minds, or that may just zip on through, that give us reason for pause and curiosity? Author Henry James (1843-1916), in his book The Awkward Age speaks about “coming out” in old English Society. A review on his piece asks: “Do I have any sense of what is going on?” “Can I believe any of the characters?” “What in the world is this about?” “I’ve read that sentence ten times and I still don’t have a clue what it says.” “Who are the good guys and who are the bad guys?” Of course he uses the word ponderable more than once in his text on that account. Join us and ponder out yonder! 🙂
