Greetings from Orgiva, Spain, where I have chosen to hide from the Yorkshire weather and live in a beautiful sunny valley surrounded by mountains. I'm enjoying the experience of exploring a new culture, and looking for a suitable house to buy, if the £ doesn't implode ...... meanwhile I'm renting a beautiful but tiny house surrounded by trees in a river valley.
I have no interest in trying to persuade others to think as I do, but I am hoping to discover where my world view resembles that of others, and to explore resonances with other points of view. I have found in many fora that some posters feel the urge to squash ideas they disagree with -- rats in a sack, rather than pebbles in a bag.
Since I think we all create our own reality, I see argument as pointless, and resonance within debate as useful.
I've been a mediocre guitar player for years, also mess with ukuleles, a banjo and a new venture - tenor sax. There are many musicians in the area, and I hope to play something, in some type of group (very quietly, at the back).
Fritjof Capra's book The Tao of Physics hit me in the Eighties, and had a huge impact on my life, which continues, and has given me an interest in some fairly esoteric literature.
An interest which does not lead to forming beliefs, -- belief clouds my vision, and tends to reject inconvenient data.
Time for breakfast, and to feed the cat, but first a walk along the verandah, to sniff the morning.
