A cold dark night on the Spanish stairs. Stage 5? I came across the idea a few weeks ago, and I think in many ways it has reshaped my thinking about religion and spirituality. Or perhaps it has helped set parameters and given shape to something that I felt was already there. I think this concept- developed by Scott Peck- is worth considering.

It's important to note that this idea should be seen as more of a tool for thinking about religion and spirituality, rather than something that should be taken as absolute truth. In other words, I think it enriches and adds to the conversation. It isn't to be all end all theory that everyone and everything fits neatly into.

Happy Labor Day 2017! To all the workers out there- the teachers, the janitors, the restaurant workers, cops, firemen, service members, the plumbers, the laundromat attendants, the assembly line workers. . . I hope you were able to find some peace and tranquility today. It is ironic that on labor day, the people most likely to work are those who work low wage and service industry jobs. Anyways, here's to a fall season ahead of refreshment as time continues on.  Taking a break I started this blog about a year ago, and have found it to be a meaningful, enjoyable exercise in writing about what I love.

From there, I moved into general music commentary, with bits and pieces of theology, religion, books, Connecticut, sports, geography, podcasts, and more scattered in.  Some history?
