At 46 I may not qualify as a geezer yet, but I don't think you repeat yourself (at least no more than the rest of us do). Many of our posts contain variations on a few themes.
I guess I'm an atheist in practical terms but I'm not so arrogant as to think I can know the mind of the Universe. We are such frail and temporary creatures; it would be no stretch to think there are beings beyond us. Do they guide us or watch over us? I really don't know and I can't find fault with others if they think there are. The Universe is almost certainly not just stranger than we know but stranger than we can know. Processes in our minds seem to take place on a quantum level or at some layer beyond the mere physical.
All I can really do is to live my life as well as I can. We all will find out soon enough!
I wish you a Happy Birthday, W!
