*br*Searles wrote,*p*: I'd love to hear your triads and thoughts.  *p*     Well, I have a rather large collection of triads, but they aren't mine; they are from the Welsh triads.*p*     These are a few of my favorites:*p*     "Three candles that illume every darkness: Truth, nature, and*br*knowledge."*p*     "Three excellences of wisdom: To be aware of all things, to suffer with all things, and to be detached from all things."*p*     "Three essentials of poetic genius: An eye to see Nature, a heart to feel Nature, and a resolute courage that dares to follow Nature."*p*     "Three foundations of spirituality: Hearth as altar, work as worship, and service as sacrament."*p*: I am thinking *br*: that the use of such triads can define the extremes and the *br*: means of a concept.  *p*     They certainly can, and to have a story or teaching (or even a dissection of the basic concept presented in the triad) accompany them would be most excellent. BTW - There are several which name Truth as an abiding principle, and which glorify wisdom, learning and knowledge. Shall I post them here in increments?*p*: Maybe, each *br*: triad should have the name of the Druid listed with it in a *br*: manner similar to the way that I have quoted the ancient *br*: historians and their quotations?*p*     That might imply that the person wrote the triad. If you could indicate that the person only contributed it and that its origin was more ancient, then yes, I suppose that would work.*br*     Unless of course, someone actually does write a new one on par with the old. :-)*p*Leigh*p*
