This blog is an exploration.
Five years ago I quit music, moved my furniture into storage, and dropped out of the world. For the next three years I read 10 books a month, all nonfiction, educating myself in a wide variety of topics. It was a strange time for me personally, and a luxurious one academically. My favorite subjects of study quickly became religious mysticisms and modern science—quantum, chaos, and system theories, etc. I found wonder and beauty in what I perceived to be poetic interconnections between these two seemingly opposite ways of approaching the world: devotion and reason, intuition and experimentation.
The Gnostic Gospel of Thomas quotes Jesus as saying “Be passerby.” I take this statement to be an endorsement of both non-attachment and humility. So my challenge in writing this blog will be to strike a balance between wanting to enroll you in seeing the world as I see it, and just sharing some discoveries I made that dazzled me, hoping they also dazzle you.
And so we begin.
Thank you for sharing.I do untherstand your feellings and the reason of your blog

Thank you for your comment, Maria, and for your understanding… I hope you continue to enjoy the blog. Please help spread the word!
What a triumph this blog is! Certainly beats the ever increasing barrage of infotainment we are forced to endure.
Don’t be intimidated by those who shun a holistic approach. People say we should think outside the box and then ridicule us – or worse – when we do. More power to you, and best of luck with this and other endeavors in the future.
Most sincerely,
L.M. :o)
Thanks, L.M.! Stay tuned…
