The phrase "The Goat's Grey" is an odd one and hails from an odd source. Several years ago I dreamt that I opened a bookstore in the Pacific Northwest. The shopfront had a wood burning of an erudite goat. I woke up murmuring the shop name, "The Goats Grey." Of course, I was just beginning to experience the greying of my own beard at the time, so this tale may be intertwined with an old man's ennui.

 

The name came to signify a storehouse of ideas. As I have read books and listened to fascinating people over time, I find that I am usually interested in at least 5 ideas:
 

Ready Curiosity

Humor

Fresh Insights on Old Ideas

Intellectual Honesty

Good Taste

 

If nothing else, this blog is a stand-in for that little bookstore and these 5 ideas permeate the collection.

 

God has created a world of wonders. As an educator and a writer, I want to encourage fascination with all of those wonders, especially in literature, in nature, and in music.
