"To live a pure unselfish life, one must count nothing as one's own in the midst of abundance."
Buddha
September 19th, 2002:
The amount of great stuff to read on the web is mind-boggling - though it seems one has to weed through a few billion gallons of sewage to get to it sometimes. I often find things worth reading on the web that are so good, that I like having it at my fingertips so that I may contemplate them - and in doing this area, this is possible. What's more, it's likely I am preserving them as well. Some internet sites already have a great area that has lasted, and in that case, I will link to them instead of making the internet more redundant. Bookmark this area, it's going to grow quickly!
If there is something that you think should be preserved - email me!
Some of these things may not even exist on the web yet - though I find that difficult to believe. Whenever someone is quoted, they will be credited. It's not my intent to detract from anyone; instead, I intend to enrich. If, for some reason, an author or someone else who has rights to the works wants me to pull items from this area - no problem. Just email me.
