I'm writing on Feynman as I'm watching Raymond Arroyo being interviewed (for a change) on EWTN's The Journey Home. I heard an amazing story of how a lifelong Catholic found his way into the Church through a fight for the faith after he left home to study in New York.
He also mentioned something else that is in common that I've read from another favorite work, Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance: gumption. Excellence. Being the best that you can be in your field will somehow help you fulfil (or find & fulfil) your calling. Discernment is a lifelong process that is required in every action we take it seems...
One of the best programs I've seen in a while, one of the best insights today :)

First Feyman, then Pirsig! I seem to be confronted by all my old obsessions every time I visit. :)
Well, I personally think there is a connection between the kind of things (or people) we read and the kind of things we write about (hence finding connections / networks on the blogosphere)...
Remember the book meme that went on the blogs sometime last year? I bet if we can somehow spider all the book titles/authors from everyone who took part, we can find a correlation between them and the 'interlinked-ness' :)
(Sorry, got carried away by these cool ideas!)
