My (momentary) “take” on the topic.
I’m counting on the fact that few, if anyone, reads this, so I don’t think I will cause much disruption if I get it all wrong.
MODERN (pt 1)
Modern Man looked at science as the crux around which he could make sense of his world (seems obvious to write this - [...]
Scotty says it so well…

STARTING to feel like I’m settled in again. This may have more to do with “time” than space, but it has become very clear to me over the past 8 months that these two elements are tightly linked. I think the wiring of “Focus” has no breakers between the two - if [...]
We’ve talked a bunch among our group of needing to get together more often than just Sunday mornings. When we’ve followed through and gathered for a meal or other activity it has been a great time AND has paid dividends in how quickly we get going on deeper things during our meeting. An [...]
