"How quiet, calm, and solemn, not at all like when I was running," thought Prince Andrei, "not at like when we were running, shouting, and fighting; not at all like when the Frenchman and the artillerist, with angry and frightened faces, were pulling at the swab - it's quite different the way the clouds creep across this lofty, infinite sky. How is it I haven't seen this lofty sky before? And how happy I am that I've finally come to know it. Yes! everything is empty, everything is a deception, except this infinite sky. There is nothing, nothing except that. But there is not even that, there is nothing except silence, tranquility. And thank God!..."

About Me
editOriginally from the Midwest, I enjoy cooking and reading. I enjoy philosophy and mathematics as well. As a follower of Jeopardy! I like to constantly expand my knowledge in all directions, following the example of the Renaissance Man.
I also follow CrossFiteveryday. I encourage everyone to try it out. I have a lot of military friends who swear by it.
