Summary: Reflections from the eighth decade — on life, culture, and the state of the world. This blog offers quiet observations, drawn from a lifetime of watching, questioning, and remembering. The sun lowers, but still gives light.

Quote of the week: From Voltaire, in his delightful book Micromegas and used in Micromegas Returns: Lessons in Humility - What would Voltaire’s cosmic traveller say if he visited Earth in 2026? A satirical reflection on human folly, dignity, and the need for humility in a fragile world.
