San Juan: Glimpses in Time: (Travels Through Shadow and Light)

From my home in San Juan, a lovely sector of central Tibas, situated just north of San Jose, Costa Rica, while the candle flickers I commence the writing of these varied glimpses. Warning! What you are about to read are personal memoirs! They are much to do about "self.' They amount to a large group of random thoughts, sporadic observations. I always feel I am somehow supposed to write my thoughts down - what a big ego I must have - because (I like to think that) if you put them all together, they form a loose-knit way of seeing the world. They are a part of my worldview. Everyone has one of these - what's your view of the world look like? I am going to be a world philosopher when I grow up, you see. That is what my intention is, since I have always been preoccupied with how to see things, how to process things. How odd is life anyway. That's why my interest in philosophy - to figure out the oddness of life. Normally, I think philosophy can be pretty dry and boring. But, for me, it's terribly exciting. . In this book, what you are about to delve into will resemble the form of an ongoing story. It will consist of a sequence of six weeks of shadows and lights (i.e. days and nights). After that time, wherever I am at with it, I will stop, and simply and abruptly start to write another book about something else I know not what. Here though, I will (I suspect) be sharing with you a series of ideas, dreams, fears, logical thoughts, illogical thoughts, wonderings, wanderings and general psychobabble. I say that because I intend to impart thoughts and ideas about whatever might be in my ongoing existence in being. This could be anything, I assure you.as of course it could be for anyone. Exactly what will appear in the pages that represent the next six weeks of my life, I do not have any idea - that, for me, is going to be much of the fun of writing it!
