As I first mentioned I may not have much worthy advice to share with you…in fact, everything I will have learned, come to appreciate and understand may very well have little or no relevance by the time you ever read this. Such is the nature of the mathematics of life…an odd reference you might think at first…but it seems sitting here now typing this that it is a mathematical certainty that your world and interpretation of everything in it will be far different than mine. Life evolves and changes…it seems with ever increasing speed and transition and discovery…that it feels as if we could easily loose ourselves in its bedlam if we are not careful. Einstein duly noted…the reality that is our life while governed by certain laws are by no absolute rule certain…and, as far as they are certain do not offer any reality. I think all this means Kate and Alex is that we are limited creatures living in a complex world and universe…and the best we can hope for is the understanding and appreciation…that everything we perceive to be real – your reality – is both true and false in the same instance. Appreciate the reality of this duality…accept the magic in it – that you exist perhaps only by chance or perhaps maybe not…and life will seem, believe it or not, much less complicated.

About Lawrence Lewis
I do a number of things professionally...but most of all and the true purpose of what I do through "my work" is to provide for my family, be a good husband and great father, and try to make a difference as a world citizen...I guess it's not much more complicated than that 🙂
