Punctum Saliens

I’ve changed the name of my blog! I am getting away from my intent when I started this blog and so the current name does not fit very well with the things I’m posting. Plus it’s long and confusing.

I’m moving to a shorter (but still confusing) name: Punctum Saliens. I think it fits the content much better and, of course, omnia dicta fortiora si dicta latina.

Ok, I hate that, too. Erudites and erudite-wannabees who sprinkle plain ol’ English with Latin phrases and no translation. So, for those of us who don’t read Latin, the above phrase means “everything sounds more impressive when said in Latin.” So it’s a little sarcastic and maybe ironic(?).

Punctum Saliens means “leaping point” or “starting point.” Much of what I’m posting now is new stuff that I’m just beginning to start hashing out for myself. My blog has turned into my platform for figuring out what I believe and so it’s the “starting point” for that. And it’s the “leaping point” because I’m going far beyond what I was raised to believe and what I’ve believed my entire life. I’ll be taking some flying leaps and may crash and burn once in a while but one of those leaps will land me right where I’m meant to be.

Hope you enjoy the ride …
