I am a sort of a philosopher, a sort of a theologian, a sort of a linguist, a sort of a mathematician, a sort of computer technician, a sort of a naturalist, a sort of a romantic, a sort of a cynic, a sort of a thinker, a sort of a musician, a sort of a chess-player, a sort of a historian, a sort of a homebody, a sort of a cosmopolite, and very much a bookworm, pedant, Christian, and jack-of-all-trades.
I also study Ancient Greek and use it to coin words.
The name Milosrdenstvi comes from my great love of things Slavic and specifically Czech. It means a forgiving or pardoning grace, as might be done by a judge, or, more common usage, God. (See
metanoia.) I found it while writing a short story about a girl Zofi, who took the name Theophano. I felt I had to give her sisters, so though they did not appear in the story, it was mentioned that she had three sisters (in analogy to the Palace Beautiful in Pilgrim's Progress) named Modrost, Z'boznost, and Milosrdenstvi. I liked the final name so much I've been using it sporadically since. Technically there should be an acute on the terminal i.
I played with your name.
Thank you, Milo.
Milo, I enjoy your contributions. I am seeking a new name. I cannot be associated with Jesus as Logos. It was your posting that got me thinking along these lines. And no, I have not risen; I am still around.
