The Renaissance Society
was founded long before the so-called 'Renaissance' period of the 14th-16th
centuries. It is a state of mind. |
How do I join this so-called
'Renaissance Society'? |
|
You're here: you've joined. There's
no escape. |
You are invited to come in
and browse around and make yourself at home. This is like an 'idea' store
where you can try one on and see how it fits. Tell a friend. |
| Here you will find the
finest, most important, most powerful and most beautiful thoughts that have
ever come down the pike. Yet you will find them neither revolutionary nor
archaic. |
The only problem is, if you
already know it all, this may not be the place for you. |
|
OTOH, if you can loosen up, keep an
open mind, allow for a little introspection and let yourself enjoy the gems
of wisdom presented here, maybe some of it will stick. |
"Right on!" is the
usual response--along with a simple recognition that our ancestors weren't
idiots and might have learned some things
we need to know. |
| These thoughts have shaped the
world we live in right now. Or, rather, they
could have shaped the world we live in right now... |
Maybe after you've tarried here a
while a few boulders of obstinacy will have been dislodged, or a few
questions answered, or a few fears lifted, or a few hopes reinvigorated.
That's the idea. |
|
A horizon expanded? Not out of the
question. |
Obviously, we have more
work to do. We can do better. We can start here because--again--our thoughts
shape our lives and our thoughts shape our world. |
| Like they all say, but
few mean it: This is your site, too. At the bottom of every page is a link
to Scribe so you can pour out your comments, suggestions, etc. Who knows, we
might just end up with something important. |
Bon voyage! |
