Hey

Welcome back.

Some would call the things I am writing here meditations but the word is misleading because my daily meditations are intentionally blank, when they’re successful. Maybe I’ll be able to articulate that somewhere along the line.

These thoughts are things that don’t come up in ordinary conversations. Although I may be considering the subject that day, it’s hard to bring up, say, the human longing for reassurance and stability which is symbolized by authoritarian governments and dictatorial leaders, who, now that most religions are obsolete, seem to be taking the place of the old-fashioned concept of Gods. Making Washington, Moscow and Peking the new Olympus.

See what I mean? Not a meditation. It’s the kind of thought I have every day and I will learn something if I say it in writing. Perhaps a few of my friends, like you, will too.

Maybe they’ll be interesting to you. At very least I will understand these things better myself once I have striven to articulate them. And maybe they will be of some value to you. I hope so.
