unintended hiatus
I feel like I’ve been kind of quiet on this front, and I kind of have. I don’t really have an excuse beyond the fact that real life has gotten in the way – I’ve been encountering a bunch of meatspace commitments that need addressed, and my immune system is trying to slay a heinous virus that got in before I could bolster things with a flu shot. At the end of the day, I don’t have the energy to tend to this particular garden, nor the free brain bandwith to come up with interesting things to write about even if I did.
So, please, accept my apologies for my lack of words if you feel you need them. Things may get less hectic before long, but I honestly wouldn’t bet on it, at least in the near term*.
in the meantime, here’s an interesting piece of wisdom I encountered in my travels. A slight variation of this statement is often attributed to Stephen Hawking, though as far as I can tell, this is the original article. Doesn’t change the point the weilder of quotation is trying to make, in any case:
“The greatest obstacle to discovering the shape of the earth, the continents, and the oceans was not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge.”
~ Daniel J. Boorstin
See ya when I see ya.
