I’d rather write than talk. Nobody interrupts! Posting monthly or less now--see below. |
My original purpose for this blog, which I started in August of 2019, was to see if I could maintain consistency, to discover what I want to write about, and to find my writing voice. In January, I started a "niche-less" blog at Wordpress.com where I've published weekly. -- Kit’s Kontemplations  . -- I'm preparing to start a Catholic blog on Wordpress.com where I'll post weekly, and another site to put the rest of my writing. I also want to spend more time reading other blogs and offering thoughtful comments, both here on WDC and elsewhere. At most, I will publish once a month at no set time in this blog starting in September of 2020. Thank you to those who have read and rated any posts on this blog. I really appreciate it. I did NOT want to write “about” me on this blog. I wanted to share my interests, discoveries and maybe a few useful insights. If anything I've written helps even one person, whether or not they respond to the post, then this blog has been successful. |
| The parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant is often used to scold those who say that truth exists and that it is not relative. If something is true, it is always true regardless of culture, situation, time or place. I don’t have to believe, agree, or be pleased with something for it to be true. The Parable of the Blind Men and the Elephant As the story goes, each of the four blind men stationed around an elephant. Their experience of the animal is limited by what is within their grasp. The man standing by the leg decides this must be a tree. The man holding the tail declares it to be a rope. The trunk is determined to be a snake. The massive side of the elephant must be a wall. The “relative truth” of each blind man was not true at all. They were touching neither a tree, nor a rope, nor a snake nor a wall; they were touching an elephant. Relativism says they were all correct. Truth correponds to reality. Therefore none of the conclusions based on their perceptions were accurate. Two statements that contradict one another can never both be true at the same time. This is the law of non-contradiction. If both your hands are touching something, it is either a fan or an elephant. Perhaps what you are touching is neither a fan nor an elephant but it is impossible for it to be both a fan and an elephant. If, in a word association game, you hear the word “truth”, what would be the first three words that come to your mind? Monique from Ottawa, Canada No matter what, WRITE! |

Yes, I know some people do that but I'm a creative writer not a journalist. Poetry sells ... but it's a money-maker for only a few. I write A LOT. Almost 180 pieces since Spring equinox. My goal is 300-400 per year. One year I went over 1,000. I need to do more editing, polishing, sharing, submitting. Writer's block? Who has time for that? I don't.
