Platonists take the plunge

don't you love the way it shimmers

Imagine 60 lovers of Plato going to Delphi for a fortnight of ...philosophy fun and plunging into the sea.  Imagine too that many of us are Grannies and Grandpas looking for inspiration from something much much older than us.  It is riveting stuff and we break up into groups of 10 looking at the difference between pleasures and knowledge.
Then we break to go to the sea  and here is one of the Platonists waiting to take the plunge showing that age is no bar either to Plato or to plunging.  The day though starts with meditation and an encouragement to approach the subject with no preconceptions.   So without preconceptions were we that Paddy, the philsopher below didn't realise that the beach would be shingle and his feet would need to be shod.
