Yesterday’s entry made it onto my website and was printed out for later contemplation; see below. In the aft I spent two hours sorting and cleaning several accumulation piles of magazines, daily paper articles, notes and more. This to good results, but more sorting piles are awaiting my attention.

It was just books, magazines and papers at that time, with computers peeking around the corner! Internet? What do you mean?

Today I plan to say good bye to Calgary’s Castell library, which will end its existence as such this coming November. This is when our new library will take over the function of the old Castell, which dates back to the late sixties.

It was quite up to date when we came to Calgary as a family in 1973, but much has changed since then and not in the least for libraries, which deal with information. It was just books, magazines and papers at that time, with computers peeking around the corner! Internet? What do you mean? A net of interns possibly?

John and I had our 8am coffee yesterday, but I did not buy a paper as I have done in the past. Yesterday’s big news is that Canada is now allowed in on the ‘NAFTA’ negotiations. Today’s papers will be full of ifs ands and buts on this, but … we will have to wait until the dust settles to get a good reading of what lies ahead.

Canada’s wolverine has yet to come to the table. One option would be that Canada just opts to stick to the present agreement if Trump imposes his 25% car tariff, which would be illegal under the present agreement! Or Canada may let go of the Milk Marketing Boards as it did with the Wheat board. Like I said, the dust has to settle before we can see!

Yesterday I made some talk description notes on the daily entry writings section printout. This was triggered by Herman’s call requesting the fall brochure write up for my November talk. It resulted in about four different descriptions for that talk titled “World Belief Destiny”.

In addition it also means the conclusion of a long personal search which started in my youth.

This is to be the last of the four World belief series of this year. In addition it also means the conclusion of a long personal search which started in my youth. It became more focussed over the last decade resulting is this final statement of my ‘World Belief Series.’

This fourth and last talk needs to reflect the fundamental human situation that I have come to perceive at this point. One aspect is consciousness, a second is ethics and a third is the task for humanity to enhance existence as we go forward.

Are these three points reflected in the 4th description that I formulated last night? We will see, it follows here:
“Forging an attitude that honours human traditions,
benefits humankind and contributes to Existence Divine.”
This description is too descriptive and not inspiring, so I’ll have to give it some more thought. It also does not really mention all three notions I mentioned above. But the final wording is not called for until this coming Friday’s lunch with my friend Herman, so no need to panic!
