I like the picture because it shows antiquity yet looks forward beyond the generations already alive. The byline is a reflection upon myself. I think I have a good mind. I believe what I believe. But I am not deluded into thinking that I’m completely right and will not change. But for now, if I didn’t believe in my opinions, I would change them. Would you be willing to try? I will defend them, but not with a closed mind (at least as far as I am able to discern).
If you hadn’t guessed that I like the Moody Blues, you weren’t thinking about it too hard. It’s mostly about the music. But I do like some of the ideas they express. Not the ones about New Age sort of stuff, but they did do a lot of introspective things that I have found insightful.
The curtain rises on the scene
With someone shouting to be free
The play unfolds before my eyes
There stands the actor who is ... me
Ever feel that way? I know I do. It may not be "Christian" but it is true.

Mike, I thought your avatar looked a little familiar ...
Wasn't that the album that opened with the line, "
Blasting, billowing, bursting forth with the power of ten billion butterfly sneezes ..."?
It was a British tease on the American manned space flight program.
Great stuff!
