The Stones We Stand On: Reading The Greeks

January 28th, 2012 by Sallie Bingham in Writing, New Mexico 1 Comment

Plato - Raphael

I’m trying, with a good deal of anxiety, to put together what I know and believe with the suppositions and proofs of the ancient Greek philosophers.

It's important not to be ploughed under by the chaos and intemperance in #WashingtonDC. We don't live in that swamp, and we don't need to allow our hopes and dreams to be drowned out by the noise. "Reasons to Hope": https://buff.ly/Z8lH33D
