As material beings, we are born, grow up, find mates, build homes, have offspring, find and eat food, get sick, care for one another, and eventually die.
As spiritual beings, we ponder how to spend our lives, how the world is and how we wish it were, how people act and how they ought to act. We invent religions and politics and ethics. We imagine paintings and novels and music and recipes.
This blog is positioned where humans live, at the crossroads of body and spirit.
Homo sum; humani nil a me alienum puto.
- Terence, 163 BCE
