Welcome to my blog

After the inspiring example of others, I too want to be along in sharing inspirations and interesting facts.

It's one thing to have a head buzzing with what you think are clever ideas, it's quite another to write them down and let the wheat be separated from the chaff. I find my understanding is greatly sharpened by the composition process. One experiences something similar to what happens when one tries to teach someone something, that perhaps I don't really understand it myself. Then the wrestling with words and their underlying truth, the insights from others, the new perspectives, all helping to approach still nearer to the real thing.

Why did I put "turnages" in the URL? Well, to me it's got a taste of the ages turning, change versus eternity, wisdom of the ages, plus ça change, plus c'est le même chose, that sort of thing. I like it.
