Ageless in Spirit: Discussions and interests for our times

 August 17, 2021 I wake up in the morning, do my morning absolutions in the bathroom with this morning using my electric shaver, take my ARED2 pill and amble down the stairs to the kitchen greeting Rebecca. She and I give each other a peck kiss and I persuade her to use my electric shaver to get the stray hairs I missed under my jaw and bye my neck. My breakfast routine includes taking a very ripe banana, some Activa, two teaspoons of bran flakes and some granola. Coffee grinding into the receptacle to a point for these beans so when I tamp the very finely grounded coffee the espresso machines pressure bars are correct (or else too full and the water seeps through the beans too slowly).

My chosen vocation of psychiatry has been a great journey into these realms though this journey has had its very boring times and frustrations with bureaucracy and ethical lapses of colleagues (which maybe one day I'll write about). Understanding and reasoning has always been a search of mine sometimes with clarity but also sometimes leading into murky nether worlds of confusion and doubt. For example, I tried to understand Kurt Godel who is famous for proving that in mathematics though its a very logical science can never be a complete discipline with full understanding of theorems and functions that all come together it will always be incomplete. Though this sentence seems to provide a conclusion of understandin
