Ponderings....

"The search for truth is more precious than its possession." Albert Einstein

I have to stop my rather eclectic reading habits, I know I do. I've been put into a bit of a tailspin by this quotation, trying to puzzle out just what ole Albert was trying to say.

One the face of things, its a lovely sentiment. The enquiring mind, man's eternal search for meaning, the thinker's quest and hunger for more.....this I do understand.

But the possession of truth, isn't this what we strive for? To hold fast in our hands whatever knowledge we have worked for hard to gain is especially precious.
I cradle the knowledge and life truths I have gleaned and winnowed from experience and hold them dear. Perhaps the chase for the Universal Truths, the big unknowns was what Albert grocked to....and I'm to puny, too small an intellect. But I'm still going to hold precious the truths I've discovered along the way.

Love
