About Me

My name is Jeremy, I am a cit­i­zen of both Fin­land and Canada. I’m mar­ried to Rebecca and reside in Gaspé, Que­bec. I’m an under­grad­u­ate stu­dent engaged in the never end­ing (and some times expen­sive) pur­suit of wis­dom, which at this time means study­ing towards a BA in Reli­gious Stud­ies. The major­ity of my time is spent read­ing or writ­ing, and while I enjoy both, I feel I’m far more pro­fi­cient at the for­mer than the lat­ter. This web­site serves mainly as a way of learn­ing how to write bet­ter, and of learn­ing in general(how I know so lit­tle!). Like Pas­cal, these are my Pensées.

I decided on the words ‘nascent thinker’ because of how I view myself.  That is to say that I view myself as young and with much to learn; some­one who has just started to really become aware of the intri­ca­cies of the world. With this web­site I’m giv­ing my thoughts on a topic, and in giv­ing those thoughts I thought it wise to remind myself just how much I have to learn. In every way, I am “a dwarf stand­ing on the shoul­ders of giants”.  What this means is that what­ever I write here is open to revi­sion, and most prob­a­bly will be revised.

Finally, I titled my blog  ‘Con­tem­pla­tions Along The Way’ as a ref­er­ence to ‘The Way,’ an early des­ig­na­tion for the Chris­t­ian faith (Acts 9:2; 2 Peter 2:21; John 14:6). So then, these are the things that pass through my mind as I jour­ney along the way.
