. . . .

I'm genuinely interested in thinking about life and dealing with it as it really seems to be through my natural senses. Being as open, honest and real as I am about what I find (or don't find) along the way takes a lot of guts and opens me up to all kinds of flack from pretenders and absolutists of all kinds, but it's a great adventure.  . I take this journey without denying pain or candy-coating the negativity with a "positive-thinking" smoke-screen, without avoiding truth or claiming to know "THE truth". I also acknowledge and celebrate what I like, and I do all of this without trying to frame it all in some kind of mysterious, magical, supernatural or metaphysical explanation.  . This site is about some of my journey. So, wherever you're at in yours, I invite you into mine. I also invite you to share yours with me and/or others as well.  . Why did I create this web site?  . What is on this web site?  . What is NOT on this web site?                        ? What do you |~_~|

Why did I create Every Fork in the Road dot org?
EveryForkInTheRoad-dot-org is a place for me to share thoughts and stories and interact with others (through e-mail and hopefully a discussion board of some kind eventually) about various things. 

The main things I want to share through this site are my desire to live with an attitude of love and a lifestyle of compassion for self and others, my passion for learning about nature and science (especially about the natural history of our species) and field notes from my long, sometimes hard, continuing Journey "Out of the Darkness of an Uncritical Mind".

What is on this website? 
Here you will find some of my observations, examinations and thoughts about my self and my life, other people, ideas, concepts, beliefs, religion, philosophy, science (especially in relation to Natural History) and the world in which we actually live. 

Though I may not always do so (and please confront me where you think I'm not), it is my intent to consider all of these things in the light of Love & Compassion, Honesty & Justice, Reason & Intellectual Integrity.

What is NOT on this website? 
You will not find an attempt to replace one belief system with another (since I have none as you'll discover if you read very far), but an attempt to consider any and all belief systems and/or world views with a genuinely open mind and with the skill so foreign to me for the first twenty-some years of my life and which I'm not sure how I lived with so little of for so long, Critical Thinking. 

You will not find any philosophical pontificating (as if I think I've got the right stuff). 
You will not find any political hype (I don't think so anyway...let me know if you think you find some). 
You will not find any religious manipulation (this I know for sure). 

You will find factual, scientific information and also my opinion about all kinds of things, but hopefully, you will not find an attitude in me that leads you to believe any of it. It is my intent to share things that I learn with others, but not to claim that my opinions about things are somehow "the Truth". I am not convinced (one way or the other) that there either is or is not such a thing as an absolute truth of any kind, anywhere. These are my opinions and that's it. 

It is up to the reader to do critical thinking. If someone is confused by the presentation of facts, that's their problem. I'm not going to make it mine by refusing to acknowledge reality and pretending not to see it when it's right before my eyes.
