The starting point is my musings on our place in the universe and the connections to the energy it contains. My reflection on the junction between the intuitive and the rational our need to fuse fact with fancy for our survival and understanding. Nature is the starting point for connection to knowledge, feeding our bodies, minds, and our spirits in search for the truth yet to be found. The connection to good stewardship of our resources through observation and care for nature’s required balance is, as I see it, vital for the future, as is the passing on of knowledge, both ancient and new.
