Introduction to the blog

Hello everyone,
I am re-starting my blogging effort, where I hope to share reflections, poetry, and essays related to a range of topics centered on the spiritual journey in middle life, but spanning science, religion, psychology, neuroscience, politics, ecology, and any other interest that relates. I will gradually figure out how to update the profile and link people in. Still learning.  I value feedback and comments as I find out how others perceive experience and events either similarly or differently. Please share in a spirit of mutual learning, acquaintance, respect, and generosity.
