"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence." –Henry David Thoreau
Deliberately Aimless also has an aim, and that is to observe the world around us. It is to enjoy scenes of beauty, to revel in the mystery of human nature, to critically examine life, to ponder the writings of others, and so forth. It is aimless to the extent that the topics of interest are broad reaching and wide ranging; it is deliberate in that it will attempt to dive deep into those topics. To muse, to philosophize, to examine, to appreciate, to investigate; that is what we are attempting to do here.
Musings
This tab contains contemplative musings of my own. The topics vary widely and encompass anything from evergreen content to ideas and thoughts about current events.
Writers & Thinkers
Under this heading the reader will find posts that explore the works of great writers and thinkers, both past and present. Posts may take the form of book reviews, analysis of ideas put forth in published works, or synopses and syntheses of ideas that I have found appealing.
Notes & Queries
This heading is similar to that of Writers & Thinkers, with the exception that it skews scientific in its material. It includes ideas from books, scientific journals, articles, and more. This is my attempt to dissect and engage with leading scientific ideas.
Poetry & Images
This tab contains both original poetry that I have written and photographs that I have taken – sometimes both in a single post. I write about what moves me, sometimes inspired by the images in the accompanying post.
Prose
This heading is straightforward. It is my original fiction work. Writing fictional prose allows me to let my mind wander and to attempt to hone my craft.
