Since last Friday, winter has relented, giving us a reprieve with melting snow and disappearing ice. And the sun is not far behind with its warmth this time of year, climbing rapidly now towards the equinox - equal night and day light times - about four weeks away yet.

He did a good job on my old computer items that I kept out of nostalgia from the times I assembled my own computer - three times!

Past Saturday John came over to help me with cleaning and sorting. He did a good job on my old computer items that I kept out of nostalgia from the times I assembled my own computer - three times! Then he went over to help his mother, who had found out about my new initiative of enlisting cleanup help. Later on we had lunch at Edelweiss at my request. I had not been there for several years to eat and also wanted to buy some good Dutch kitchen towels. It all worked out fine and I now am into my second cleaning stage.

Today Elisabeth is off to Nepal where she will arrive 24 hours from now, flying via Vancouver and South China. One month of trekking is her plan, being such an enterprising friend at her age.

This morning I had a valuable insight on the functionality of diversity in our human society and will elaborate under “Writings” below in this daily entry.

“Diversity ensures stability through flexibility and is opportunistic as it explores many options ensuring maximisation of potential.” This is the concluding sentence of some quick notes I made this morning having my morning coffee.

Diversity ensures stability through flexibility and is opportunistic as it explores many options ensuring maximisation of potential.

All the notes together make up about half a page (p.8), which I will let sit in my blue Hilroy note book that is dedicated to my March talk titled: “World Belief Origins”.

Yesterday in this same notebook, pp.6 & 7, I outlined a justification for such a ‘World Belief’ considering the proliferation of beliefs in our human society. Hence this justification of diversity came to the fore this morning.

So, yesterday’s justification and this mornings insight dove tail nicely and I will work this out in some detail in the days to come in “My World View” essay chapter “Beliefs” that follows the now completed “Narrative” chapter.
