So longs my soul
Like as the hart desireth. . . . a quiet space to express some very personal longings of a Christian (Lutheran) agnostic after the
numinous (Rudolf Otto). I sometimes write about things I know nothing about such as self-organized criticality, and strong or weak
anthropic principle. That cannot be helped.
