what's goin' on?

this morning i mused upon the notion
that has me connected to the blogcosmos
what do i know in the blosgosphere
what is to be known there
here is a summary:
my first introduction to the blog world was over at SILLIMAN"S BLOG
and then the PHILOSopHICAL INVestigator and then i started my own blog
BELWILDERING SEARCH nad then i went on over to visit the
LUTHERAN SURREALIST he is hep and cool even if a bit
lutheran he can't help it and he humors
SILLIMAN is good for the newest and the hottest poets
and good overeviews of the beats and black mountain boys
and what not as well good poetix over there
the PHILOSOPHICAL INVESTIGATOR mostly takes
photos and posts them
his are some very fine photos indeed signifying
everything
for religious content and a god based focus
of intellectual activity i visit
the wondering earthling at
AN EARTHLING WONDERS
she has colored the blogosphere with
insight and geology and music notes and
prayerful insights and wanderings and poems
i don't know why more people aren't over there
and
SACRAMENTUM VITAE
is a place i often go for updates in the
solid conservative philosophically based entrenched catholicism of our day
recently there has been some branching
he's always good for some extended dialectic
i visit and comment over on
EIRENE a peaceful lutheran
not incendiary like kirby olson
no
kirby hurls stink bombs into the blogosphere
and calls it public service
which of course it is
but still
and The Pinnochio Theory is a place where
high quality thinking and writing happen

curtis faville writes some brilliant pieces
on books on architecture on drinks on photographs
on places and people on food
at A COMPASS ROSE
comments there are often spicey but always
curious and thought provoking

i know of some other blogs
a woman i only know as SOPHIA
has grabbed my attention
and some military minded patriots in utah
show up
there's a poet in ARIZONA
named william sigler
his blog POET TREE

has a new poem called
THE GLOBE ROAD

there are 100's of thousands of blogs
no need to know all of them
but i enjoy the minds i visit
on this blog world
it's enough bloggin for me
yet i know
there are other blog routes

of all the blog listings i include
i know only two of the blog owners personally
that is something i know
the epistemological focus of this blog
remains in tact

i have had conversation with people i may never meet

blog sog rog vog quag

blog world days

I find the blogosphere to be a fascinating place, in which the blogger offers to a larger community his or her thoughts for analysis and dissection.

There is always the danger of falling into ruts, but each new post provides an opportunity to start again, each a own miniature recapitulation of grace, faith, fall, and redemption.

Each little neighborhood is a bit different, the tone set through the interplay between the blogger and his correspondences, and the whole visible to public review and further comment.

I like your neighborhood, and am particularly glad for your discussion of blogs of interest to you -- it's a roadmap that others may like to follow. It is certainly one that I will explore.

Peace.

JH, your blog is great, tho intermittent. You make a great guest because you disagree with everything I write but remain all sweetness and light in spite of my stinkbombs. I nearly ran over a skunk coming back from NYC two nights back at 3 am after sitting up and yakking with a Romanian dadaist (the last perhaps) named Oisteanu in his elegant lower East side apartment with an actual bellman out front, and a heavy locked double door to keep out the riffraff.

I missed the skunk and he kept his tail down.

I didn't even think of you at all at the moment, nor do I think the moment is reminiscent of you.

It was reminiscent of me confronting myself in the real world outside of the blogosphere, perhaps.

Tervetuloa (Finnish for welcome).
