Usually the search terms that lead the handful of people to my site are fairly standard. But few days ago the title of this post led someone here. If that was you dear reader, then sorry I did not have a ready reply then and will address it now. Before moving to the answer I [...]
Inventing Purpose
February 17, 2010 By 3 Comments
The unhurried ambling. The contemplative discourses at the cafe. Plain old ruminations.
