Thank you for visiting. Those of you that have known me for a while know that I don’t often post anything on social media or share anything about myself with large audiences so this is going to be quite a dramatic change. In fact, this is the first blog I have ever done (aside from an assignment I had to do in college about medical device companies… so fun), and I plan on staying on top of it with posts about once a week.

In general this blog is going to be about understanding, which is a journey fueled by engaging in a sense of profound wonder that stems from within. By within, I don’t mean the rapid-fire stream of consciousness that is mostly influenced by outside factors and tends to occupy a person’s mind. I’m talking about a kind of gut feeling; an immediate, unbiased perception of reality that arises from silencing the chatter for a few minutes and living in the present moment.

For the most part, my posts are going to be reviews of books I finished reading. In that sense, this blog is a chronology of my own pursuit of understanding, but it is also a testament to my gut feelings. I love following wild goose chases through Amazon.com and random book stores for the book I chose to read next for no reason other than “k that sounds good.” Books have a tendency to branch out into other books related to it as well, and it’s fun for me to get lost in the web.

My only hope is that this blog can help you in one way or another. Maybe it will help you understand useful concepts you never knew existed, or maybe it can be a quick, insightful distraction from taking out the trash. I have no idea; that’s for you to experience.
