A Quiet Watercourse
Richard over at A Quiet Watercourse has moved his blog over to wordpress, so you can now find his most interesting thoughts here.
He had this to say when describing his link to my blog here:
“An incredible blog, a massive influence on my own writings.”
To say I was deeply moved by this was an understatement. I consider Richard’s style to be quite different from mine in that quite often he simply puts a question out there rather than making any firm attempts to answer it. He likes to consider what really happened instead of focusing on why it happened, and in this way manages to live his questions rather than wasting life and energy in searching for answers to questions which only begets more questions - the type of thinking that gets lost in linear logic and is never peaceful because life is at its core a Big Mystery.
I’d like to think I learn from him at least as much as he learns from me, so allow me to suggest you go over and take a look at his blog if you haven’t already. Richard, we look forward to seeing how the new wordpress version of the site progresses.

Thanks for the comments! And I meant what I said, you even started me walking round the house barefoot!
I admire the way you’re able to find answers in the things that I wouldn’t even know where to start with the questions.
I think my approach to questions is partly that “a man who wants to beat a dog can always find a stick”. I do feel answers have to come from my experiences, I need to have an almost “physical feel” for them (if that makes sense), though I will admit that sometimes the best answer is a better question.
Life’s a mystery, I’ll raise a glass to that my friend!
