After the Afterthoughts - a poem & picture

I went out for a run on this beautiful day in May. As I passed the campus water-feature in the dell at the foot of the University science departments, the following words assembled themselves in my mind - a short poem on the nature of philosophy, philosophers and philosophizing. I call it "Still Pond":

Still Pond
Still Pondering
Still Reflecting
Natural Philosopher

The TOL mascot reminding us that philosophy goes way back!
