Scented Thoughts

Walking through San Marino late tonight, I passed a lovely scented tree. It made me think of jasmine, but I'd never seen a jasmine tree. I picked a leaf and flower, to research at home: Lakeview Jasmine. It's lovely.

As I returned home, inhaling the scent, a remnant of a song came to my mind. By the time I'd arrived, I remembered nearly all the words. It seemed so suitable for my mood:
There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned,
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.
Today's song is . . .
Supertramp's The Logical Song
