About

Welcome to LIFE / RELIGION / POLITICS / SCIENCE / PHILOSOPHY or LRPSP.COM!


Herein is contained my thoughts, musings, poetic prose, and sometimes just plain aimless ramblings about the things that interest me in Life, Religion, Politics, Science, and Philosophy.

Why?  Because the things that excite people, the things that people get passionate about, the things that people get energized about, the things that people want to talk about and know about and understand more than anything else is Life, Religion, Politics, Science, and Philosophy.

Oh, you may try and convince me that Auntie May is not interested in these things but just ask her about her favorite pie recipe or what happened down at the General Store this morning.  Who doesn’t love a good story or their own personal musings?  That is LIFE!  Life as YOU experience it.  And there are things in LIFE that are important to you that cover Life / Religion / Politics / Science / and Philosophy.

We all have religious discussions all the time.  Usually, they concern whether or not there is, or is not, a God.  But people are “religious” about many topics.  Things they hold passionate beliefs about.

And many times, those passionate beliefs spill over into politics.  The governance of our societies and ourselves.  People are passionate about their political beliefs.

And generally, those beliefs are born out of our scientific understanding.  The study of the world, the Universe around us.  Our science, our knowledge of the world we live in, defines us and helps shape our core values.

And that, in turn, shapes our philosophical discussions.  Our theories on life.  Our sphere of thought.  Our philosophies are intertwined with our religions, our politics, and even our science.  And those things are the foundational things in Life.  How we live, how we act, what we do.

So, these are what I discuss here.  Because those are the discussion that matter the most.

These discussions are meant to be controversial, intimidating, thought provoking, introspective, reflective, encouraging, depressing, incisive, funny, sad, uplifting, and life changing.  Because that is who and what we are.  We are creatures of learning, experience and discovery.  And these are the encompassing disciplines of that learning, experience, and discovery.

There are two prominent images used on my BLOG.  The sunset at the top of the home page and the lighthouse background used on the home page.  Most people who watch sunsets are reflective.  They may be reflective of the day or of some event.  The setting sun reminds us that the day has come to an end.  Just as there is a sunset to life.  And those in their sunset years have amassed the experience and wisdom of “the day” that life has encompassed.  But with the sunset, there is also hope of the sunrise.  Waking up rested and refreshed we look forward to the new day.  And that is the ultimate hope in life.  The hope of a new and better life to come.

The lighthouse is a compass to ships.  It warns of shallow shoals and impending doom.  It guides a ship in the night safely along its journey.  And it is symbolic of the guidance we all need in our lives.  The warnings to avoid the rocks and sail safely through treacherous waters.  We all need guidance from time to time.  No one sails through life without facing some obstacle, some danger, or bad times.  We all need a lighthouse to help us along the way during those times.

These discussions are intended to delve into the things that interest us all in some way, shape or fashion.  To seek the wisdom of those that have lived through the day and are now enjoying the sunset of life.  And to look for the light from the lighthouse to warn us away from the rocky shores and guide us safely along our way.

So perhaps you will join me, add your own comments, or just reflect on those of others, as we all journey together to experience, understand, learn, and practice:
