When
I was an Engineering student at the University of Melbourne in the
1950's I, like many other people, started to consider what I was doing
and why. Life was busy, everything was exciting, I enjoyed
sailing in
small boats at Frankston Yacht Club and exams kept demanding attention;
so the big questions took a minor place in my life. In 1955 I
wrote a
few lines that I intended to complete in 1956, but then a chance to go
to Massachusetts Institute of Technology took it all out of my mind and
I stuffed the few pages away. After a busy life with a growing
family
and a career in engineering and research, I came upon these jottings in
2012. I was forced to wonder about what I had learnt in the
intervening 57 years and wrote some notes on my understandings of
beliefs in 2012and some of my thoughts on life in 2013 - you can click
