“The great truth for Innokenty used to be that we are given only one life. Now...he became aware of another law: that we are given only one conscience, too. A life laid down cannot be reclaimed, nor can a ruined conscience.”

Spent a few hours on a solo "self-recovery practical" getting myself out of this black cotton soil mess in the Mudumu Park, Caprivi. At least I'd set off early. It's called "rainy" season for a reason.

The "jolie laide" trend from flawless to "imperfect" diamonds is interesting - and a far more honest metaphor. The existing 4C's of quality (cut, colour, clarity and carat weight) should include "character" as the 5th.
