My old prof for N said that in his opinion 95% of N's allusions are based on Emerson... by god its true. Especially when Emerson critiques the preaching of a "dead god" in an address to divinity students... it brings an entirely different perspective on things and a huge inroad to an otherwise hard to penetrate writer. - Most importantly, my wife and I are both whole and rejuvenated and prepared for the hardest year we have yet faced. I have only one thing to bounce back from this year, and all truth be told, that's a pretty damned good year. - I've also decided to start writing my thoughts more formally. - I had hoped to read Shapiro on the trip at the behest of Dr. Turell but I couldn't escape Emerson.

Who was willing whom here?) - Lets rock...
