ABOUT THIS BLOG: Note from blog creator, Jasper Cook

Usually, blogs invite readers to comment, with a text area to submit below each blog post. This blog doesn’t do that, but not because we don’t invite responses. We value them, and would prefer them emailed to us on hanglipkaroo@gmail.com

The reason we don’t feature instant responses like this is that this is a static blog, not a dynamic blog, and this is a static blog because that way it is hosted for free. If it included comments, that would fall away. We don’t at this stage want a “bells and whistles” blog.

“There is a dream dreaming us”.

If that isn’t the best rendition of what spirituality, wonder, religion, whatever one wishes to call it, is, then please tell what is …
