So I’m starting to see that I want some organization in my blog. I’m getting to that point in my life where I have so many directions I want to go, so many topics I want to dive into and divulge, and since the topics are different, it’s ineffective to approach them from a position of broadscanning. When I was in grad school etc., the topics I was interested in were rather universal and centralized—spirituality, creativity psychology, engineering, mystic poetry. I could be in a broad scanning state, divergently thinking, accessing feelings in many directions to accrue valuable words and filter them into a central idea. This still works for my attitudes and opinions, for my philosophy, but for various topics I want to refine, it seems that I should blaze a trail for myself. I would like to use the written form like a trail. Plowing in with intuition and working memory is alright, but I’m at a level where I’m wanting to produce and work with high-caliber scientific research. I know I’m just a freelance scholar, so I don’t have as many resources at my disposal, but what I do have is freedom and enthusiasm. I can study the topics I want to. Reflection can be through reading and writing and filing.

Part of this blog that is integral is simply a workspace for me, and a convenient way to maintain and share writing. It’s okay that it will be somewhat fragmented. The environments I’ve been in have been rather fragmented, so it makes sense I would be less motivated to organize. Also, my brain is probably still developing its last little growths, or so I feel so, and that smooths me out in a more organically systematic manner. I’ve been wanting this for a long time, and I’m here. So I’m going to see what I can do. I don’t mind a mess all that much. Leaf litter is natural. But so are trees!

Current/recurrent lines of thought/writing:
– Mediterranean Storm and Sea Universal Myth of Duality, this might just turn into a book eventually
– The Unde___ (though this could get stuck into Storm and Sea or Mesophysics, or just exist as an essay)
– Nuclear power (may or may not persist)
– Various singular enunciations from various days and reflective fragments
– Stylized reflective pieces
Some things I would like to do, here and elsewhere:
– “What are all the green rocks?” of Big Sur
– Various stylized geologic pieces
– Continue writing stylized reflective pieces
– Describe wtf is going on with the Salinian block, in full detail (this will take a long time)
– Perhaps write some essays about vespers
– Song of Tsowem long form poetry series
– Horror/sci fi/ordinary short stories (The Thunderbird, Sasquatch/forest spirit, Death by Dutra, Washing with Neptune, Light in Tahquitz Canyon)
– Gold That Flowers, a novel of 2003 central california, a story about the ephemerality of dreams
– Icarus Reimagined, a novel reimagining the Icarus myth from his perspective rather than Daedelus’
– Mesophysics and Interrelativity, my central philosophical work. My hope has long been that conversations with close companions would overflow into a book. I’m approaching that hope, I hope! So far, that hope’s been glanced and dashed time and time again. I just need a stable, serious conversation partner so I can precipitate a book from them.

There are so many fragments from the past that are interesting, but I doubt I will have time to recollect them. At least I should go through, reread, and selectively make notes representing periods. I have a feeling someone will want to read them someday. Odds are good that I will have a written legacy. That’s just how I’m cut out/sculpted.
