I liked this blog post I read today (via BoingBoing). It throws some much-needed counterweight in the raging battle between atheism and christianity. It carries a little extra weight in that it comes from within the atheistic/Enlightenment movement. All too easily, one fundamentalism leads to another. We must remember to be vigilant against the pitfalls of extremism.
On some personal notes: 1) Finally finished 100 Years of Solitude today. Up to now, I'd only been reading it at work (I have work books, coffee shop books, in-bed books, etc...like to mix it up). I made an exception today to finish this tale. It was much needed for me. I may share more thoughts from it as time passes. Needless to say, the pitfalls and attractions of solitude are at the fore of my heart now, in the face of the so-far-fruits of 2008.
2) I'm preparing for my first return trip to New Mexico in many ways. One of them is a fast. It'll be a shorty (5-7 days), but it is needed. I've been riding my bike a lot (especially as the weather turns springy) and running a little bit. Also been trying to exercise more deliberately and run through some old forms. Preliminary results are promising. :)
3) Still simmering those thoughts and feelings I mentioned on Friday (a few posts ago). The truth always reveals itself to the patient and the persistent. Also, as GWC once said, everything will give up its secrets if you love it enough.
4) Don't want to jinx it, but I've got quite a run of blog posts going. :)
