| Pharos
This is Pharos, a source of light and shadows at
the outer limits of the internet. You are stepping across the unfenced
edge and into an unknown land. Your visit here might change you forever.
Welcome.
The name, Pharos, is taken from the word of Greek origin, which means
a beacon or a source of light. A lighthouse
named Pharos operated at the port of Alexandria for centuries before
it was destroyed.
As a writer, a teacher, and a philosopher, I seek guidance for myself
and for others. Light is often figuratively associated with proper
attitude and behavior, as for example in the concept of enlightenment.
One particular truth is this: a light produces both illumination
and shadows. It might illuminate the truth and at the same time provide
shadows that can hide lies. I see hope, however, in the possibility
that many people can be keepers of the light. There aren't any shadows
when light comes equally from all directions. It is therefore important
to remember that nobody owns the light.
May God grant us the will to seek the light, the skill to find
it, the courage to choose it, and the wisdom to make it endure.
I am Sam Aurelius Milam III
Keeper of the Light at Pharos
| An army, great in space, may offer
opposition in a brief span of time. One man, brief in space, must
spread his opposition across a period of many years if he is to have a
chance of succeeding. — Lord Yama, Deathgod, in Lord of Light by Roger Zelazny |
