ABOUT "RAMBLINGS OF A STRANGER"


 
These are indeed ramblings.
 
They are not beautifully-crafted essays, they are simply thoughts and ideas. They don't follow any pattern, except the sequence in which they were written. They do not pretend to be great literature, profound insights or deep teachings. They are simply observations, textual doodles, of daily life. If anything, they try to find something more in our mundane slogging through this broken paradise.
 
And they were written by a stranger, who is discovering more and more that this place is not home. This is not the Fatherland. In the words of Meister Eckhardt: "God is at home. We are in the far country".
 
So, if this seems a strange section, that's exactly what it is. The ramblings of a stranger looking for a place to belong.
 
It's also an invitation to the other strangers out there, to look below the surface, to discover the eternal in the temporal, beauty in the brutal, meaning in the mundane. To discover that there's more to life than meets the eye.
