Committed agnostic. How can one be anything else?
Theism and Atheism are simply the two sides of the Agnostic coin.
"To see a World in a grain of sand,
And a Heaven in a flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And Eternity in an Hour.". (William Blake: Poems of Innocence and Experience)
I am not that which can be observed............
Fanatical Wagnerian - my wife says I’m obsessed - surely not!
Pianist - classical, jazz, new world fusion.
Rubbish chess player!
