I used to, but then I changed how I write. I now write only in the service of a question I have, a big question, perhaps even an ultimately unanswerable question. This way I always have something to write about. (less)

message 1: by Scott

Scott "Planet Earth is not even a speck of dust in the universe, and how uncanny it is that we have contrived to see almost to the edge of what time and light will allow, to look back billions of years and see suns forming. When I read about such things, I think how my own heroes would have loved them. What would Melville have done with dark energy, or Poe with spooky action at a distance? Whitman could only have loved the accelerating expansion of the universe. Dickinson probably knew already that our sun is atremble with sound waves, like a great gong." - from Marilynne Robinson's "On Beauty"
