Sorry for my apparent absence. Its been a hairy week -- but one which has been fruitful. I have begun two evening classes this week -- actually one started last week -- and the one that started last week is actually in another city. I commute Thursday evenings -- get home after 11PM and my alarm goes off at 10 to 5 the next morning. The workload -- especially the paperwork part seems to be escalating at work. And my wife finally found a job -- she started this week -- it is looking very good -- but it is throwing the routines around the place a bit off -- like bedtimes and who gets in the shower first and such.
I have been reading folks postings -- but not from home -- from work --w when I should be doing other things.
For the most part I have enjoyed reading what folks had to say more than Thomas himself. Part of this is my energy levels -- its simply easier to listen to friends talk amongst themselves then to read ancient scriptures of a long dead community when yer living butter tarts coffee and 5 hours of sleep.
The fact is I rely heavily on two reading strategies -- my (hopefully) spirit-led intuitive sense of things and the narrative flow. They are related. Narrative flow triggers a niggle in the intuitive faculties.
Well. No narrative. Not even a vestigial narrative to get my hooks into. And of course -- intuition really starts from healthful place as well.
So. My first impressions of the passages under consideration is -- gaak! Followed shortly thereafter by eh? and er? and um.
My battle plan is to sleep in tomorrow and try again. If you have found my uncharacteristic lack of voice disturbing -- I apologize. I've nearly fallen asleep on the commuter train trying to read a college textbook. And they don't have much narrative flow either.
