About this Web Site
About this web site: I had long thought about registering my own Internet domain, but it took some time until I really began looking which domain names were still free. The only thing I knew for sure was that it should be a .net domain to express some international and networked sense. Not very surprisingly, the cool and cheeky names were already almost all taken, so I was looking for something calmer. After having decided for a name in July 2000, registering it online was only a matter of minutes - the begin was accomplished.
About its name: after some days of domain name "research", I decided for sea-of-tranquility.net because I liked this name most. There are web sites with similar domain names. A key word search for "sea of tranquility" with yahoo.com at the beginning of August 2000 returned more than 1,900 hits (searching with google.com in October 2002 returned approx. 10,500 hits). E. g., the Sea of Tranquility (Latin: Mare Tranquillitatis) is also a named location on the moon (latitude 8.5°N, longitude 31.4°E, 873 km in diameter). There are also musical records and songs named after it.
About this web site's metaphor: for many people, thinking about the expression "Sea of Tranquility" arouses a gentle fascination. In a non-material sense, we may feel that there is something more to reality than just what we can see at its surface. That there is a vastness full of tranquility within us; of a tranquility that is gently moving in itself. This vastness exists as well in all other people, in all sentient beings, in all that lives, even in all that is. It may be obscured and veiled by ignorance, distraction or confusion, but nevertheless, it is just there, and is waiting for us to find it.
