You ...hm, checked your blog on a whim...glad I did. You didn't tell me you had more up! Agree w/Wren--very strong.<br /><br />I was (obviously) immediately intrigued by the title. <br /><br />It struck me as all very <b>meta</b>. This is a compliment! It's like obsessing about obsessing about planning your planning. <br /><br />It's one of the easiest pieces on this blog to read, to kind of just breeze through like a conversation or a journal entry, which is how it reads and I love that.<br /><br />I'm interested that you see this obsessive trait as a comfort somehow, a harmless indulgence that gives you perspective and understanding and enlightenment. Would that we were all so lucky. But it certainly leaves me wondering where the pain is. I mean, if it really is an obsession, there's uneasiness or damage there, somewhere. That kind of goes unaddressed. (Or maybe that's me being partial.)Klewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162688878053182523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166957988301833237.post-89293717839719254012011-03-26T10:02:30.514-07:002011-03-26T10:02:30.514-07:00read it again this morning - same strong response....read it again this morning - same strong response. first four paragraphs are just completely compelling. like a Linkin Park song. <br /><br />rdWren Gradeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06027406412006993122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166957988301833237.post-35835290773159072752011-03-25T21:51:54.353-07:002011-03-25T21:51:54.353-07:00D!
