Introduction

My hope for this blog is to create, not a book, but a new kind of literary object in which the ability to jump back and forth through links enables a reader to pursue her or his own path of interest through the various posts and pages of the work, provoking creative commentary which can be added in whole or part to the blog as a separate post or page with permission of and credit to the author.

The home page of the blog contains the latest post and two menus. In the upper right corner (easily missed) is a menu of all the posts in the order of their posting. One can select any post in this menu and it will appear, can be read, and can be commented on. At the end of each post is a link “Back to Top” which brings one to the top of the post where the Post Menu and the Links menu at the left both appear. The link is helpful even in shorter posts because they can be part of successive posts in which the menus disappear.

The Links Menu (titled Categories) Menu at the left contains various links, including the link to this introduction. There is also a link to the home page which serves as a center to the networks of the blog, and another which brings up all the posts in order from the very beginning (see link below). Another item links to the “About” which contains writings about the blog’s purpose and content. This About Page is updated as new developments to the blog occur. The Contacts Page allows a reader to send an email to the Post’s author.

Finally there are Category Pages which give various paths through the Posts or links to Pages which are hidden from the main Category Menu. At this point, Feb, 2025, there are three Categories which are being populated: “Spiritual Journey”, “Philosophy and Western Zen”, and “QM and Science”.

Plans call for two more additions to the Links Menu: A Comments Thread and a Memoir. These have not been posted as of Feb 24, 2025.

If you are new to this blog and haven’t already, a good idea is to read the “About” page. Here is a link. If you have already read the about page, a good way to see what this blog is about in more detail is to read the Categories mentioned above or click on “From the Start” to see all the posts in the order they were composed and posted, as mentioned above. There is a rough order and development in the middle of the seeming randomness. Here is a link. If there is a “sticky” Post, the posts begin below it.
