Is theology a contardiction in terms ? Is it possible for a mere mortal to study God. I wonder, like so many before me, how any one can be arrogant enough to think that God, if it exists, can be comprehended by man. I woud have thought that by definition God is incomprehensible. So any study in that direction is futile and bound to fail.

Nice to see you back, Loner. :-)

Human beings cannot in our finite mind ever comprehend an infinite God. He is the creator and we are the creation. He is outside of time, we aren't. Just think....He spoke and created the world.

rain!! It is so nice to have you back old friend. I missed you rather rather badly. I have been to your blog many times, and even added a comment or two. Not thta I have been quite upto date with my blogging!

Of late I have been spending quite some time wondering about the entity GOD. Maybe that is a natural sequel to being a loner, huh?

So, how are you doing?

Hi Loner.
I hope you are doing well. And I truly mean that. I just started posting recently. Work has been VERY busy, as Philly has been noted murder capital of the U.S., a title I'm not happy about.
Also, my family is going through their share of problems. I've been trying to help, but sometimes things just look so dim.

Other than that, I haven't been doing much, just going through the motions...

I know what you mean, going through the motions.. There really isn't much else one could do. But I am sure you will do fine, Rain. Life can't be that mean to a kind person like you.

Maybe loneliness implies detachment. This is not what an old comment on this blog says. It says loners are basically asocial beings with some hidden grudge in thier minds. I don't think so. May be there are loners of that version out there. But detachment is the phrase that has been on my mind for some days now. The true meaning of detachment is way beyond me. Embracing emotions, experiences. I don't know. May there is something in that.
First I learned there are other loners out there. Then I learned there are people out there who care. People who actually seem to be concerned about you. And all the time I had assumed a sort of worthlessness which now seems to be, well, rather disproportionate. Sure, I knew there are nice people in this world. I never knew there were great people. Ok, I am not talking about GREAT people, you know. I am talking about the ordinary people with the spark of greatness in them. What can be greater than caring about a fellow human being whom you don't even know.

The Tree

The tree was fine when I saw it last time. I don't quite recollect how long ago that was. I do recollect the tree was fine. Now I see it again. All shrivelled up, The glorious leaves gone, So too the pride. It looks old, Maybe feels old, wasted, useless What happened to you, old friend? What bolt of destiny struck you down. I doubt you will ever hold that head up again Against the sky, against the wind, against time. But don't you worry. We are with you. Shrunk, shrivelled, shaken down No matter. We are with you.
