LOOKING AT THE WORLD

My early years were as a research physicist and then as a Physics teacher, before my 32 years with IBM in the early days of the computer. So I appreciate the scientist’s passion in the search for new knowledge. But as I have grown older, I increasingly feel a sense of awe and wonder at the life we are a part of in this amazing universe. So words of George Weigal, written a few years ago in the Washington Post* are most meaningful to me.

“The created world, rightly understood
is a mystery to be loved,
not a puzzle to be solved.”
