 Thoughts destined to be washed away by the tides of life. |

I've been studying my cover photo for a while now, and it seems to me that it is more than just a photo of what is there that can be seen, more than just three white rocks stacked on a beach. It contains an important question about the future, about what happens long after the photographer has gone. What will happen to our pile of stones when the tide comes in? Will it topple or has the architect built this structure at a safe distance? I don't know what will happen to these words that I stack here on the sand. They may prove safely distant, or they may be swallowed up by a rush of self-doubt. They may be here for a season. They may lose their balance and be scattered by the shoreline, or be hidden away under shifting sands. Perhaps someday, the tides of life will reclaim them. Or maybe that's just a bunch of poetic, romantic nonsense. After all, this is just a blog. |
| People are always so sure that they’re right. Me too, I'm usually pretty sure that I'm right. Of course, I hope that if something were to come up that indicated that I might be wrong about something that I would be open to entertaining that idea. That's not a guarantee. I'm pretty stubborn. But I hope I could recognize the truth. And I don't mean if other people tell me their opinions or repeat to me things they've heard that are not proven. I don't mean if they tell me that based on their logic and calculations, something entirely different than what I think or believe is the actual truth. I mean, I want something factual. I will debate. I will argue with opinions. But I think it's pretty childish to block somebody because you don't like what they said. And I'm pretty sure I won't do that. |
