Nature – Conspiracy of Kindness

Sitting with God

I wrote the title of this thing almost a week ago, since when my mind has been in chaos and yesterday I reached apogee, the peak of dismay and awfulness. I even had a desire to post on Facebook, “Everything is bullshit!” Fortunately I know better than to post something that I need to sitContinue reading “Sitting with God”

Nature is the ultimate arbiter of science, if a scientific theory is not borne out by nature, it’s abandoned, useless. If I head out with some half baked idea that I want to save the world, but never testContinue reading “Before we change the world we must change”
