Lost message from forgotten sages...

Symbolic art is a universal cultural phenomenon. The symbolic significance that people attribute to external objects may reflect more on him than on the objective reality.

The career of a sage is of two kinds: He is either honored by all in the world, Like a flower waving its head, Or else he disappears into the silent forest.
Lao Tzu

Lobe of intellect...

"We have at present no basis for a scientific explanation of the brain-mind relationship. We can only continue to study the brain without philosophical prejudice. And if the day should ever dawn when scientific analysis of body and brain solves the mystery, all men who have sought the truth in all sincerity will rejoice alike: the professing materialist and the dualist, the scientist and the philosopher, the agnostic and the convinced worshipper. Surely none need fear the truth." (Wilder Penfield, Speech and Brain Mechanisms, 1959)

Lessons from the garden of wonder...

I like the metaphor of a garden to explain my purpose on earth. My wife and I created a family garden and it was full of wonderful human flora and fauna; it was a garden of wonder. Natural elements and a few man-made changes in the climate had an effect on the garden, but it continued to grow and the garden members grew strong. The soil had to be enriched and the weeds had to be pulled in order to help the garden inhabitants to grow. I am happy to say all the plants have been uprooted and now live in a new garden, where they are flourishing.
