It seemed appropriate to me to have an introductory entry for this blog.

I may not write to this journal with great frequency. The world in general is depressing enough that I don't want to add to the weight by posting about the unhappy or even totally dull/mundane parts of my life. And those of you who know me well enough probably know that the above description accounts for most of my existence right now.

But... I remember.

And even now, it's not all uniformly blah.

One of my favorite hymns of all time starts like this:
"For the beauty of the earth; For the glory of the skies;
For the love which from our birth over and around us lies..." (W.C.Dix)

So most of what I'm likely to post is the snippets of joy, beauty, love, and so on that I come across. With occasional forays into the quirks of the universe: the silly or the downright weird, the strange and charmed. (No wait, those last two are some of the qu_a_rks of the universe. Sorry.)

So grab a strap and hang on as we ride off into the world.
