quiet reflections on inner life

welcome

This blog is based on a lifetime of philosophical thought and self reflection.

It’s as much a “note to self” as it is an expression of mindset and specific observations.

In day to day life, clarity of thought isn’t always easy to come by.

The very participation in the unrelenting change of everyday life muddies the flow of conscious, to the point where often all you can see, is what lies immediately in front of you. At best a interleaved series of blurry snapshots of environment and circumstance.

Unless some effort is made to settle the mind and ease into a state of broader perspective, the state of a translucent flow of consciousness can be elusive.

It’s only in these moments of transcendence that significant bursts of insight typically occur.
Consequently if it seems the expression of thought here is far and few between. This is fundamentally the reason.

Great insights typically only come from deep reflection. Deep reflection only occurs in moments of stillness. Moments of stillness only take place when the opportunity to step out of everyday life presents itself. In my case this isn’t always that often.

Enjoy.
