Another piece that may be of interest to at least 0.9 of my 3.6 Loyal Readers. This first appeared on LiveJournal on this day in 2006:
Genesis 3: Reality, responsibility, and The Eye of the Maker
Edit:
In other news, last night I returned from a three-day excursion to the interior of British Columbia. I saw many old familiar sights, and some old forgotten ones, and a few new ones, and one desultory forest fire, and met some new people (whom I shall, in all probability, never see again); and I return somewhat refreshed. I make a note of this for my own purposes, since this blog is the closest thing I keep to a journal, and otherwise I may wish to recollect some aspect of this trip and not be able to remember when I made it.
Now that you mention it, how is book two of the series going? I certainly don’t want to distract you from finishing The Style is the Rocket, but I’d love for The Eye series to continue.
So would I, so would I. The fact is, The Eye of the Maker is by far the most difficult piece of writing I have going, and I have not been well enough to make any progress on it since my parents died. It’s only in these last two weeks that I have been well enough to do any kind of writing regularly. I am hoping to work my way back up to it. Sorry I can’t say anything more definite.
Glad to hear it! I’ve been looking forward to book two ever since I finished book one.
Seconded.
I never cease to be boggled by the tolerance of so many for self-contradiction. They don’t believe in absolutes… Except for the one that they are uttering so absolutely. They are dogmatic in their rejection of dogmatism; and when they tell you that truth is but a mask for power, it never seems to occur to them that that they are wearing the mask themselves.
In other words, I liked the essay. 🙂
