Eventually, this is what it has to be. We all want to sneak up on the Universe, explain the purpose of our place in it, and maybe figure out if the requests we whisper into the infinite void have any chance of coming true. So who could be better to interpret life, the Universe, and everything, than the author of the Matt Miller in the Colonies series? That was supposed to be read as a joke, but I guess I\u2019m as good as anyone else. Plus, in all the time I\u2019ve taken to write the Matt Miller books, I\u2019ve probably thought more about the relationship between time, space, human consciousness, and God than many people; I\u2019ll make a great effort to go there in this blog, in between tangents. I won\u2019t apologize one bit for the tangents, since there\u2019s usually something wise that comes out in them at some point. You just have to look.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In all the time I\u2019ve taken to write the Matt Miller books, I\u2019ve probably thought more about the relationship between time, space, human consciousness, and God than many people.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":730,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[19,17,20,18,16],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.9.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Writing Matt Miller in the Colonies - Blog Entry 1 - Mark J.
