Ratty Ponderings
Wow, LONG time since I posted! And a really long time since I moderated pending comments. I’ve got to wonder if I LOOK like a blogger who needs super-hot Asian chicks or and extra-long thingy…And then I have to ask myself–do these idiots actually think they’ll get approved for posting?
Anyway, welcome one and all to the Year of the Rat, which is already forecasted to be a depressing, dismal, and possibly catastrophic year. Yay. Yippee.
And with a New Year come thoughts of a new path for yours truly. I’ve been wandering down many different spiritual paths, and have been having a truly wonderful learning experience whilst so doing. I’ve found the writings of Thomas Traherne, a 17th-century Englishman, and have been giving myself over to the cadence of his voice, to the peace and power of his words. A truly great man, sadly virtually unknown in America.
And so my blog, like me, will be taking a different tack. Heretofore, I’ve been outright political, and I will still focus on political issues, but I also think I need some “me” time, some time to sort out my own noggin and my own inner searcher.
I wonder–do we humans ever reach a limit on learning, on searching? I hope not. In the movie “Hogfather”, the character of Death is stunned that humanity can ever, EVER be bored. After all, we live in a pretty amazing universe…
