Spawned thoughts...

Recently on board in our ship wide mandatory class, Global Studies, a few of the lecturers have given me great snippets to think about. A blog is a terrible medium to try and capture the essence of a meaningful moment, so all you get are my favorite quotes/thoughts from one of these days to let effect you as you wish... ( I always hate affect and effect. No matter which I decided on, I'm never quite sure) ...

"In order to write, you have to read the world first".
It is possible to "hold 2 ideas of the mind at the same time".
"You might speak the language, but you don't speak the culture".
....a "beautiful complication".
