I was awake before seven am, but like I do at times these days, I commensurate while laying awake. Doing so, I recall some of my life’s events and experiences, or go over some of my ideas, held values and beliefs. This morning I was thinking about the sacred in humanity in general, considering that sacred means ‘dedicated to’.

So engaged, I started to realise that we humans have been dedicated to good as well as dark causes. This led me to conclude that ‘the sacred’ in humans must be subject to ethics, even if that is after the fact at times.

Take a bow John:-)! Thanks for all the help!

Last Saturday John came down to fix the ‘bios’ problem on my desktop’s motherboard. This he did with gusto and efficiently. He was kind of amused with the whole affair, as he recalled techniques used many years ago for him. It all came off smoothly and my ‘Tony_BUILT3’ is working again.

The 3 in the name is because this is the third computer I put together, rebuilding the first one, which dates back to November 2003! Its Antec chassis is the last remaining part of that project, all the other parts and OS have been replaced several times. Take a bow John:-)! Thanks for all the help!

This past week and weekend I have been active sorting things through and out such as books to go, papers to read or to discard. I have made good progress realising that this is now the once and for all ‘get to it’ attempt. This time I am able to establish my sorting categories much better than in the past.

I think that this is because my life and mental state have found a pattern and routine. I have lived in my abode here - Tara Lee - now for twelve (12) years after coming back in 2003 from Holland, then closing off a decade of change since 1993. That year’s Easter time was parting time for my wife Ina and me.

The formulation of my belief framework is front and centre in this process and my Sunday CLEC talks and their preparation form the core of that.

From the year 2006 I have been slowly defining a belief framework for myself and that is now coming into definition. It is firming up so to speak. I can tell that this is the case from my new ability to decide on what to keep and categorise, versus what to discard in all my loose papers, books and periodicals.

In the background is my realisation that at eighty (80) I have will have to focus on what I still want to do and find important to keep and complete. The formulation of my belief framework is front and centre in this process and my Sunday CLEC talks and their preparation form the core of that.

I realise I am defining this belief framework one talk at a time four per year and now preparing for talk forty-two (42), scheduled for March 19, 2017, titled “Humanity’s Sacredness”. Hence me early morning thoughts mentioned above!
