Welcome, one and all, to my particular corner of the anthroposphere. An strange and obscure recess I sometimes fear, but never,
I hope, a dull one. Perhaps you will find yourself staring into some facet of the truth, glimmering in the pitiless gloom
of uncertainty, and yet as you draw closer, all that façade might display is your own reflection. Or perhaps you will see
only chimeras, fleeting phantasms and tricks of the light to deceive the unwary and lead them astray. But if you perceive
only paradox and contradiction, remember that old Zen logic, "A is A because it is not A" and like Alice, try to
believe at least three impossible things before breakfast. For where there is nothing but ambiguity and confusion, we have
but one chance and that is to cherish them. We must tear down the false idols of knowledge and truth for all we can ever hope
to grasp is a boundless absurdity which will always see the arrogant pursuit of certainty confounded in the end. Yet where
there is absurdity, where there is chaos, where there is ambiguity, there is also wonder. And wonder will endure.
