Growing older and knowing less

Reading over what I had written when I started this blog I can feel how much I've already changed. I've gotten older, a little more cynical perhaps too. I've realized a token of Socrates' wisdom: that we really have such little knowledge.

I thought - and still sometimes do - that I could piece the whole puzzle of life (existence, the cosmos, people, nature, evolution, all of it) into a picture that if not complete, is simply missing the pieces at the edges. It is an enjoyable and thoughtful past-time: but who am I to comprehend the most elusive question; what is our nature, and does life have a deeper meaning?

We really are as children before the deep enigma of Life.
