Please forgive this stupid question, but I'm still trying to understand 
exactly what the double "::" means. I have read that I can use (derive) to 
establish a hierarchy and I can imagine how this would be useful for things 
like throwing errors and catching them and logging, but I've also read that 
"::" adds the namespace to the symbol, so I would assume that I can not 
match ::logging from one namespace with ::logging from another? 

I'm thinking of this especially in my use of Slingshot, where I was 
thinking of doing something like: 

(throw+ {:type ::database-problem :message "something wrong in the database 
query"})

and then at a higher level in my code I was going to catch it with 
something like: 

(derive  ::database-problem ::logging)

and then using Dire: 

(dire/with-handler! #'database/remove-this-item
  [:type ::logging]
  (fn [e & args]
    (timbre/log (str " database/remove-this-item: The time : " 
(dates/current-time-as-string) ( str e))))

but conceptually I am having trouble understanding how ::logging in one 
namespace can match ::logging in another namespace. Perhaps I should just 
use normal keywords?
