Thanks, Paula, for your comment. I’ve always wondered what happens when people get bored of sex and violence and the endless cycle of celebrity… well, besides drugs… I mean, what can be more exciting than that? Perhaps that’s why there’s such a renewed interest in eastern philosphy and the recognition of a need for quiet and inner peace. Because that’s the kind of mental state you need to be in to absorb some of the important things that other people need to say.

I’m glad you found me.I guess you bothered to stop to read my post as there was something compelling – well, to you anyhow. Which is exactly what you’ve outlined here, so very well. How, without SEX, VIOLENCE, BRITTANY SPEARS do we manage to convay what we believe to be important to others. It’s got me thinking. Thank you.

Thanks for your thoughtful comment, IR. I find that the challenge of being specific is really a tough one for me. My curious brain bounces all over the place, making connections between disparate things and leaving the details to other people’s imaginations… I have to keep reminding myself to stick to one main point instead of many!

You’ve brought up very legitimate questions. How do we find the balance between accessibility and expression? Or keeping specific while staying open to a wide audience? I’ve considered it in the background of my blogging, but this little tool you’ve found is making me think about it a bit more. Admittedly, I’m also checking out the reading level of other people’s blogs. hmmmm….
