Welcome
My blog contains entries on Art, History, Archaeology, Politics, Philosophy, Amateur Radio and whatever takes my fancy that day.
You will find more real arguments than belief in my expressions.
I may not like your potential comments, but I will defend your right to say whatever you feel at any time - only: please stay clear if you feel I need to be saved religiously. I am not interested.
My personal Art Galleries are on
SOFAP:

and on

The Norwegian philosopher Peter Wessel Zappfe explained my philosophy like this (in my own slightly adapted translation):
But your aim, people ask, your meaning and goal?
I have no aim, there is no goal.
Our existence is meaningless as life itself,
and yet we stay enthralled forever.
But one day, when all the things
with aim and meaning and goal
have withered as autumn’s grass,
there will be columns of light in my memory,
forever shining and bright.
By those I will know,
when I stand at the final cairn:
I emptied the grail of an earth-day.

About Me
- sctthomas
- Does anyone really care who or what I am? It will all be forgotten one day - but perhaps my writing, my paintings, my thoughts will live on? That, more than anything else, will give me away. So, I hope you will enjoy the fruits of my searches, my ideas and conclusions, finding your own serendipity. Or as so eloquently put in the old Norse poem, Havamal: "Beasts die, Friends die, Even you will also die. But I know one thing that never dies: the memory of all men". Quite an illusion - but if you work hard on it, then perhaps - - - ?
