My publishing consists so far of a master's thesis on the relationship between words and objects, some pieces for a religious publication on people like Preston Manning, Reg Bibby, Don Page (a Stephen Hawking class cosmologist), an experimental church guy in Victoria, an essay on selling our farm published in issue 8 of GEEZ, and a peer-reviewed history paper on the activities of the nebulous St. Patrick in Ireland. Book-length work is still in the making. <BR/><BR/>I read and was challenged by your entry on what happened when people refused to submit to Hitler. Chilling, and in various forms, far too common.Ingenuity Artshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647685739620958586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-54927142404878113752007-10-31T13:24:00.000-07:002007-10-31T13:24:00.000-07:00Yeah, that's certainly the trick, Milton: to keep ...Yeah, that's certainly the trick, Milton: to keep the process open and adaptive rather than succumb to a formula that appears to work but in fact entrains you into limitations of structure. We seem to gravitate to that, like a ball rolling down a hill by gravity...Sounds neat, what you're doing. Have you published anything? I'd love to read it.Nina Munteanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311070435293186699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-674348467273637392007-10-31T08:51:00.000-07:002007-10-31T08:51:00.000-07:00Good post.

One of the tricks is to not turn the dynamic process into a linear 'how-to' technique. I tend to use agricultural metaphors to help explain the, 'You matter but you don't control it all' dynamic.Ingenuity Artshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12647685739620958586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-37221203230268424922007-10-30T13:02:00.000-07:002007-10-30T13:02:00.000-07:00But what a word, eh?But what a word, eh?Nina Munteanuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00311070435293186699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584840770244929.post-54698644276354553112007-10-30T12:56:00.000-07:002007-10-30T12:56:00.000-07:00Nina, that's a new word for me today!Nina, that's a new word for me today!Jean-Luc Picardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01689798190618944262noreply@blogger.com
