Me

I'm a practical dreamer.
(this is not as contradictory as it seems)


I like the crisp smell of freshly printed paper (and the corresponding sound of pen scratching ink on paper),cold temperatures when the sun is out, long and invigorating discourse, shopping at quaint, old-world boutiques, playing with poker cards at any kind of game (excluding Solitaire,while I honestly prefer all the variants of Bridge), and walking, just sauntering aimlessly (but contentedly); indulging in the sights and sounds around me, encasing them in the multi-faceted tapestry of sheer sensation-

Audentes Fortuna Iuvat.
-Virgil, The Aeneid

therefore I am vulnerable no more

One entire cycle, and what?
I concur with King Solomon, which he writes in Ecclesiastes

"Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom,
and also madness and folly.
What more can the king's successor do, than what has already been done?
I saw that wisdom is better than folly,
just as light is better than darkness.
The wise man has eyes in his head,
while the fool walks in the darkness;
but I came to realize
that the same fate overtakes them both.

Then I thought in my heart,
The fate of the fool will overtake me also.
What then do I gain for being wise?"

I said in my heart,
"This too is meaningless."
For the wise man, like the fool, will not long be remembered;
In days to come, both will be forgotten."

Ecclesiastes 2:12-15

I shall pursue wisdom still, though it be meaningless-
Must as well pursue the least of all the evils.
As always, my heart's desires are in Your hands, Lord.
If I have one life, let me live it well- for You, ever more
At least, I have a purposeful life

Outgoing

I'm far too lazy, alas!
