What small knowledge I have of physics tells me that order exists, whether we recognize it as such or not, and we turn to myths for reassurance of that order and meaning.

I love literature and art because I celebrate creativity and imagination. Yet I find deep personal spirituality within the natural world. I can see why so many physicists, for example, use terms such as "elegance" in describing the patterns and rhythms of the infinitesimally small and exceptionally grand.Robert the Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863488312604865183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2400078448867068387.post-49441653134284941942010-07-15T17:09:26.564-07:002010-07-15T17:09:26.564-07:00Laoch - Thomas Moore's words, particularly as ...Laoch - Thomas Moore's words, particularly as found in this book, have considerable resonance for me.<br /><br />Angela - Seems we have both been needing similar affirmation, or direction.

He writes of ruins as places where enchantment is strong...no wonder we are drawn to scraps of the past and the stories we build from them.<br /><br />Kass - Joseph Campbell and Thomas Moore, my idea of clarity in uncertain (and aren't the all?) times.
