The Death of Adam, and why I love it here.

I picked up a book by Marilynne Robinson the other day - Essays on Modern Thought. Impressive, huh? Yeah, dig me. I'm limping through this book like I have with similar literature. These are good quotes to show why - taken from the introduction (yeah, I'm not in the actual book yet.)

"I want to overhear passionate arguments about what we are and what we are doing and what we ought to do. I want to feel that art is an utterance made in good faith by one human being to another. I want to believe there are geniuses scheming to astonish the rest of us, just for the pleasure of it. I miss civilization, and I want it back."

The weather here in downtown is such that I had to pull over on the street a 1/4 mile away from where I was headed, so I could walk. It's just perfection. A breezy, sunny day, with red, orange and yellow leaves blowing across the street like they think they're in NYC.

I'm writing today. Watch me write. Write, boy, write. Beat down the inner-critic. Amaze yourself, and have courage to share it.
