Whimsical Wonderings of a Whistling Dish-Girl
An intention

Basically two things I want to say.

Firstly, I want to think.  I want to think about God and life and existence.  I want to think about reality and its complexities and how different parts of reality interact and the implications of that.  I want to philosophize and understand things as well can be done with finite human consciousness.  I’m uncertain about using the phrase “as well as can be” because that feels a little too presumptuous.  Of course I want to do so, but I’m frightened of making an impossibility my goal.  Nevertheless I do want to think well.  I want to think skilfully.

Secondly, I want to write.  I want to record thought in a communicative form.  I want to weave with words an imprint of my thoughts and view of reality.  (Was that a mixed metaphor?)  I want to write down my philosophical musings so that I can read them back later and add to them.  This would sort of a breadcrumb trail to prevent myself from going in circles.  I also want to write truth in other forms.  I want to write stories and poetry and communicate truth in a beautiful fashion.  Again this is starting to look like too high of an aspiration, but I mean more or less to write in as beautiful a fashion as I can reasonably form.        

I changed my mind about there being only two things I wanted to say.  Beyond knowing truth and writing truth, I want to live truth.  I guess in summary I want to be a philosopher who writes things down and lives according to the truth.
