Context Counteracts Chaos (Hopefully)

Restarting my dormant blog will take some time, but here goes. This draft will doubtless need and get editing, and perhaps a few readers. And I have to review the settings to get the "look" I want, and which is important to me.  However, at present, I mostly want to be on the record with some thoughts of my own, and ones borrowed or re-posted from others . Today I merely hope to re-post an excellent piece, one worth reading and heeding.  And keeping. 
So today I post the link, at the end, which seems the best I can do for now to keep and share this.

Also, I do want to note that  I really am not into any big discussion or debates. But if anyone out there does read this, I hope you will indicate that. The world is large, and even our local community is global. What about our brains? There is the brain that can be gifted to the Boston Brain Bank, and then there is the mind that cannot be packed into a container and shelved like a book. It not only creates mosaics, frescos and photographs, it IS all of those. And that is part of the logic of this blog.
