Welcome to Cobwebs From An Empty Skull, a blog about my life and the daily toil of the soul. It is not about anything in particular, except perhaps the inner life and the outer life of someone living in an industrial desert, which rests on an island. Though this blog does not deal with anything in particular, there are certain subjects that intrigue me the most, they are asceticism, spirituality, meditation, God, and self-discipline. As far as I am concerned, I just want to know.
