As we go down deep in the water of three-dimensional space, we have one more degree of freedom of Up-and-Down compared to our ordinary moving space on the plane earth. Though it is an expansion of only one more axis in spatial dimension, you could enjoy lots lots more freedom to move..<br /><br />And now I am thinking that when somebody can meet people who could give him more degree of freedom whatever in thinking, ways of living or enriching soul, how thrilling it will be.. admitting the fact that getting to know people usually means that we have more constraints than more freedom..<br /><br />Safe trip.. roxana.. :-)Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00778920166777616160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5006918362371724227.post-72229215797906874332009-05-09T16:21:00.000+03:002009-05-09T16:21:00.000+03:00Eneles, ha :-)
