If there was (and is) a tree of knowledge, how vast is the nature of innocence, the realm of not knowing, and even the capacity of refusing knowledge?
Wedding after wedding we may watch brides marching, hearing the recognizable melody announcing their entrance. Decades ago I bought my first Lohengrin recording, and it hit me to learn that Richard Wagner created that melody for Elsa and her saviour. It continues to touch me, how I, and likely many thousands of humans rejoice in…

She says she is really detaching herself from earthly pleasures for a bit.

An Introspective Question
I drive, and drive, towards knowing truth, wanting to understand the inner desire to uncover truth. I contemplate her, and him, those beautiful souls in the bodies of my own blood who I saw and touched as they arrived. And I equally accept, and bathe in the mere joy of their existence, simply so, abstaining…
