From the Collectanea

Entries that have no citation are always original to me, copyright 2010:

The Relicrecsemblica are boxes filled with scraps of little precious thoughts too heavy for even Georges Braque to lift, and too slight for Gertrude Stein to comment upon.

Long on explanation, short on information = obfuscation.

God's mercy: When I'm not strong enough to get over a hurdle or smart enough to go around it, He eases me through it — eventually!

Shakespeare's "Nothing comes from nothing" is simultaneously an indictment of inaction and an incitement to action.

Comfort comes as a guest, lingers to become the host, and stays to enslave us.
— Swami Chinmaya

"Life is change ... growth is optional ... choose wisely."
— Dr. Kiran Bedi, "Think over the thought."

It's all ephemera

Do you know what God is?
One can know only the tiniest portion of the infinite — however, you don't need to know physics to cross the road.
