A series of oaths, a series of changes

Oct 12, 2009 14:06

You know, in many ways, the initiation I went through changed the game I was playing, deepening it and setting new rules. I like to talk about Huizinga's notion of Homo Ludens as vastly superior to Eliade's Homo Religiosis, but I find myself encountering Huizinga's theories on a very real and intimate level in my life ( Read more... )

See chronarchy as he flies through an invocation with the greatest of ease, leaps tall world trees in a single bound, and opens the Gates with a frickin' LASER BEAM -- all while wearing a long white beard and a long white robe -- NOW IN COSMOVISION!

I wouldn't use it if it weren't a serious academic term.

I also wouldn't use it if it wasn't freakin' hilarious :)

In a lot of ways, I am a little sad that I didn't meet you until so far along your course, but the changes I have seen in the short eighteen months I have known you are remarkable ( ... )

I'd never have gotten back to an e-mail :)

I often think I'm glad that so many people who are new to ADF didn't know me prior to consecration. . . I wasn't happy with who I was about three-four years ago, and it showed. It astounds me how transformative these experiences can be.

As for which member is which tree? Well, I could tell you, and thought about it, but I also think that you guys know what tree you are, anyway ;)

I will tell you, though, that you grow fast.

I've known you that long, and I've always liked you. Not always felt comfortable standing next to you in a lightning storm, but always liked you. :)

(If we're being trees, do I have to be one that would show up where I live, or are all trees fair game?)

All trees are fair game. And there doesn't appear to be any Emerald Ash Borer in that garden, either. :)

In the midst of my breakup with Tina, I ended up pretty bad off, hurt myself and a few other people, and just. . . wasn't happy. I just figure I could have done better by everyone around that time, especially myself.
