Welcome back, Jeff.

And with things to say, plus a spiffy new design.

Here's an interesting observation:

And it occurred to me: the world is a great boulder rolling down a hillside, and we are the moss that covers it. We squabble among ourselves. We bicker and wrestle and strive. And from our perspective — you know, the little bits of moss — it seems like our daily struggles are the most important things in the universe. But from a wider angle, we’re just moss on a rock. We can’t stop the stone from rolling down the hill; we can’t significantly change its course. Oh, sure, if we all work together, we can nudge it a little bit this way or that. From the point of view of a piece of moss, that’s a world-changing event. But from the wider view, we’re all still just stuff on a rock.

I'm not totally sure I agree. Yes, I admit that we are all victims of history, as well as of our own inexorable slide towards the future. But I don't think it's so much of a hill that we roll down as a river...to use another bad metaphor.

Life is life. We go along, we try to find some meaning, and hopefully we have some great relationships along the way. Life requires effort, and that effort is what keeps us rolling along.
