I claim that this blog is about “liberal religion, arts and culture, and sense of place.” But I realized that my definitions of these three things might not be your definitions. I’m also all too aware that I tend to write too much about certain personal passions (tpoics about which I am, as the Japanese say, a “maniakku”).

I’m working on adding pages that give my take on these four areas to orient new readers of the blog. But you regular readers should also note that you can leave comments on these pages, where you can argue with my definitions, which might prove to be a very interesting side conversation.

As with this whole blog, it’s all an experiment and it’s all evolving. (Actually, that’s true of the rest of life, too, isn’t it?)
