Chronicles of an Existential Observer

If you wish to know the truth about yourself and the world around you, where do you start? Do you examine your own motives? Do you begin with some sacred texts or the words of the great thinkers, philosophers, and writers?

Once you begin this journey to the edge of discovery, you soon find yourself in the borderlands between the life you thought you were leading and some other possibilities.

This journal is an attempt to understand where we came from, why we’re here, and where we’re going …. in short, the meaning of life.

Wages

Here am I, proselyte of the unbeliever, novitiate of inertia, acolyte of ennui, sitting for hours in the dark, alone with conflicts that are never resolved, answers that are just out of reach, anguish that is unsoothed, sins that are irredeemable.  These, the wages of conscious existence.
