Wonder by St. Augustine

Welcome

~ I once read that we should aspire to speak only what is true and useful. Of course, what is true and useful for some might seem dishonest or of no value to others. Still, it seems worth the effort to filter our never-ending stream of thoughts through a true and useful screen before expressing them as spoken words.
~ And what if we apply this same filter not only to what we speak but also to what we hear and read? How much of the data that bombards us daily is both true and useful? How much is true but of questionable value or seemingly helpful but ultimately not true?
~ My mission is to share information and ideas that have been screened through my true and useful filter in the hope that you may discover and benefit from whatever is both true and useful for you.

People travel to wonder at the height of mountains,
at the huge waves of the sea,
at the long courses of rivers,
at the vast compass of the ocean,
at the circular motion of the stars;
And they pass by themselves without wondering.

About

~ As far back as
I can remember I’ve experienced my life as an unplanned and unscripted journey of self discovery, often stumbling and occasionally soaring, ever in search of useful truth. The journey has led me to create True and Useful™ as a way to share some of what I’ve discovered. I hope you find something here that is true and useful for you.
