This is a personal blog, where I share the (often eclectic assortment of) things that inspire me. Those words, images and ideas which touch my heart and mind ,rekindling the inner fire of my spirit, serving serendipitous passions and ponderous perceptions. Should you wish to peruse my own meandering musings and poetic pursuits then 'Anachronistic Chivalries' is where you want to wander. I never did find my niche with regards introductions or autobiographical writing, so in the spirit of keeping things relative I'll keep this as short and sweet as the writer in me allows ;) As a writer, avid reader and academic at heart, I have a broad range of interests (including art, music, theater, history, spirituality, mythology, philosophy, psychology, sociology, environmental and conservation issues, human rights and ethics, politics, swordsmanship to chivalry and too many more to list) I possess the requisite love of language and literature that one would expect of a writer, along with a passion for the applications and implications of language in society as a whole. It is my belief that without language we would have no way to comprehend or define such abstract and intangible concepts as love, beauty, compassion, ethics, religion etc. It is through language that we are able to express thought, feeling and opinion; as such it is possible that language facilitates the very essence of our humanity. Language, be it the written or spoken word; is a necessity of society. It is the means by which we communicate, learn and evolve, and as such is key to both unlocking the potential and recording the experiences and insights of humanity as a whole. I am a big believer in seeing things through both the micro and macrocosmic scopes, of exploring as many avenues of thought, experience and existence as one can in pursuit of truth. Despite such at times complex interests and pursuits, I try to live my life by a simple creed, recognition that love, peace, beauty, truth, trust and happiness are the souls nourishment, just as food, oxygen and liquids are the vital keys to life in the physical sense, such other elements are what lend life its vitality
The best mathematics, like the best literature, will continue to cause intense emotional satisfaction to thousands of people after thousands of years.
André Weil and G. H. Hardy views on mathematical beauty.
A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns,” he wrote. “If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.” Hardy went on to characterize what makes a mathematical idea worthy: a certain generality, a certain depth, unexpectedness combined with inevitability and economy.
See Hardy’s essay A Mathematician’s Apology (wiki, PDF, Amazon)
“To think you sleeping under the stars while you think of me and wondering if you know I am doing the same and knowing even though so many miles separate us, our thoughts linger in the others arms,there underneath the stars.”
I had forgotten the silence on this grey lake
the dark quiet waters
far from echoes of the city
where nothing disturbs my shadow
lest the moon and stars
Why then tonight this night
must the wind whisper so loud
that ripples flutter
making the frogs busy
A peaceful invasion of little cries
here in the loneliness
of summers solitude
Even after you hurt me so, I can't seem to stop missing you, in the moments I want to share, in the moments I'm most vulnerable, and my impulse is to turn to you, burning our bridge was the hardest thing I've ever done... on every silence, every heartbeat, always her, always you.
