Where I have been, and where I am going...

In hindsight, I think my blog name was the most fitting title for anything and everything involving me. Where in the world am I, indeed...lol. It is a long story, sure you want to hear it? lol

Well I am still still in academia, still studying...still learning...although now, the instruments and tools with which I am dissecting the world are no longer under the field of study known as science. This time around, I am approaching the world from the other side of the court; this time around, Art is the teacher.

They say that the universe is written in the language of math (and science). After five years studying math (but moreso science), I've come to the realize that true understanding is best achieved when one learns to view a matter of interest from queer vantage points, through wholly unfamiliar lenses. In other words, the universe is more than math and science.

The universe--our very own world, even--is written in color, form, texture, feeling, etc. These are things you don't learn in math class or science class. These are things that also matter, so much so that they underpin transmitted culture all over the world.

The universe, the world, is complex and the key to unraveling the complexity can be found in nature (the greatest teacher). This is because there is truth in nature-- absolute truth; and within absolute truth, there is supreme understanding.

I have begun a journey with the intent of finding, assimilating, and understanding Truth in its purest form; Truth, free of all institutional and cultural prejudice. The Truth of the world, that is the world, and the Truth that is the Universe.

To achieve said Truth, I intend to engage life and the world via all manner of schools of thought. Science, Math, Philosophy, the Arts, etc--these will be the tools at my disposal as I journey toward this Truth.

Presently, at this very moment, the Arts are my tools of choice. This is where I am in the World. The previous two years have been somewhat of a transition geared towards bringing me to this very moment.

Life is beautiful from where I am standing. Life is full of promise.

I am a nomad journeying toward Truth and absolute understanding.
