The book 'I know this much is true' by Wally Lamb is the inspiration behind my question.
And that is, what do You know to be true?

(IMO)
1. Thoughts are
2. Thoughts have an I
3. I am an(?) I
4. There are perceptions
5. Perception has pattern
Numbers three and five are a bit hazy, but these are my basics so far. Descartes was pretty good but, bless his little French heart, he had to bring religion into it. I, alas, lack both that surety and the Inquisition, so I try working with logic. Unfortunately, with the above basic tenets, logic only becomes valid after I have used it to prove its own validity. Needs some work, that.....

That I exist in a universe bound by space and time. That there is a part of me that transcends space and time. That my only life is in the moment. That I have the potential to reflect my creator. That I am capable of love and being loved. That the biggest things in the universe are on my side.

I know I exist. I know my children love me. I know two of my cats love me to death. Most of all, I know I exist.
