Have you ever started a path? No one seems willing to do this. We don't mind using existing paths, but we rarely start new ones. Do it today. Start a path. Even if it doesn't lead anywhere.

A commonplace book: an old-fashioned literary diary for recording interesting items from reading you've done. I use mine to record snippets from reading, conversation and life in general. (The early 2003 entries are from a period some years ago -- before the blog age -- when I tried an online commonplace book as a straight web page.)

The Cosmic Design and the Designer: Following St. Thomas' Finger
A rumination on cosmology, quantum physics, Einstein's relativity and consciousness that leads, in a recursive manner and with some diversions, to the suggestion that the universe we live in has a design and, logically therefore, a designer. Following science to its edges points to a cosmos that seems to have been meant for life and intelligence. Humans fit both of these design parameters. The beauty of creation exists for us to enjoy. This may be the very reason for it all. Each life then is important in itself and we each have the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We therefore also are required to respect, honor and assist all others trying to so the same.
