Signals from Saint Barbara

While peering out from behind the eight
Signals from Saint Barbara seem to weight.

Answers clear as Saint Elmo’s Fire
Why heard now I begin to admire.

On Green Hill the winds do blow
Saint Didacus of Alcalá, Saint Diego.

Should one ever then meet Saint B's fate
May they enjoy the surf and cosmic wake.

While signs above proclaim the Right
Glowing phosphorus forever hides the light.

The English Lesson (author unknown).

Now if mouse in the plural should be, and is, mice,
Then house in the plural, of course, should be hice,
And grouse should be grice and spouse should be spice
And by the same token should blouse become blice.

And consider the goose with its plural of geese;
Then a double caboose should be called a cabeese,
And noose should be neese and moose should be meese
And if mama's papoose should be twins, it's papeese.

Then if one thing is that, while some more is called those,
Then more than one hat, I assume, would be hose,
And gnat would be gnose and pat would be pose,
And likewise the plural of rat would be rose.

I blog, therefore I am.

August 1st, 2011



‘I blog, therefore I am,’ (a phrase/quote taken from a Sunday newspaper cartoon sketch given to me by a friend sometime ago and I don’t remember which cartoon).


///



To blog is different from other types of writings. As books and the likes are often called ‘living documents,’ a blog is much more so. While I personally make a reasonable attempt to not significantly change any of my writings after I publish them on-line, a blog often invites the author to revisit and reassess the subject matter of the writing long after it is initially written. As republishing any blog is as simple as a computer click, blogs may often evolve and change with the passage of time – whether such changes are readily apparent to any reader or not. Obviously then, editing a blog can occur at anytime after it is initially published and no addendum or new edition is ever required – so blogs typically can be considerably different entities than writings in a printed format.

Commit to Truth.

Commit to Truth...

…We will survive evil and uphold the vision of Freedom and Peace.


(From a book of teachings)

Technological Haste has Created Societal Waste.

Technological Haste has Created Societal Waste.

It appears that mankind’s typical haste to utilize new technology(s) for profit – among other goals, has created societal waste along with other negative externalities by ignoring alternative uses of the principles upon which these same technologies are based. At some future point in time, when the scientific principals and laws upon which much of our modern technology is based are again reviewed in light of differing perspectives and paradigms, answers likely will become apparent to many of our current societal woes – especially the need for clean and abundant energy sources. In other words, it is likely that the basic principles of our sciences and current technologies will offer other/greater answers for mankind once these principals are again reviewed in an unbiased manner.
