THE TRIQUETRA OF LIFE: Wisdom, Wealth, and Wellness

Wisdom, wealth, and wellness: these I gleaned from my travels … the essential triquetra of life. Without all three, we fall short of life’s abundance. My essays express these three principles with human interest stories and personal insights. Readers can feast on a cornucopia of essays such as the Engima of Time (Science), Death (Mysticism), Castrati (Religion), A General Lee Lookalike (Compassion), Secret Stash (Money), Bogart’s Hug (Pets), Blackboard Jungle (Education), and My Ticket to Heaven (Suffering). Soon, a book will compile over 300 hundred blog essays published by New Oxford Review, along with several deemed too controversial for its readers. 

As a graduate engineer, I pondered the competition between scientism and ​spiritualism. The pigeon homing instinct versus GPS, etc. It annoyed me that a simple duck could outperform our best amphibian military vehicles. It bothered me that Nature had quietly engineered that marvelous creature without much ado . . . no labyrinth laboratories, no $billions for arcane research, no peer review articles . . . a sobering, scary realization that Mankind’s things are but mere child’s play. That opened the door to adventurous speculations far beyond what men usually ponder. I am engaged in writing Path Perilous, my autobiography describing a personal Star Trek  . . . “going where no man has gone before.”
