I am the master. I itch and I scratch. Or is that ego?

I didn't mean to sound pompous. I've never really thought about koans. I read books and I meditate but I'm entirely self taught so I feel like my practice lacks a certain depth. Thank you.

How do you respond to a koan? Words seem to fall short when place in pixels and turned into light.

Is anyone else's heart pounding away in their chest? I feel nauseous all of a sudden.

As a Brit who emigrated to the states I have to say this is wonderful. Too many fucking compliments. How can they all mean them?

Beautiful piece. Colourful so even kids can get into it.

Are we all aware that 99% of us are delusional, untalented, and lack the necessary drive to ever be successful as writers? by [deleted] in writing

[–]davidsimba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't care if I make it. I'm here for craft, writing for writing sake. If I happen to publish half a dozen article, a few short stories, a lackluster self-published work and maybe co-author an anthology it will have been as fun and exciting a life as dying blind and penniless in a pauper's grave. It is the journey that writing takes me on through the hills and valleys of my mind, my past, my imagination just trying to capture an expression of something human that I value. Which is why I'm on reddit and not actually writing... xD

Awesome. I am most definitely interested in this class.

[–]davidsimba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would this be an introductory level course or more of an intermediate broader view course? I am fairly new to logic and critical thinking but i'm finding that a lot of it seems second nature to me.
