The Land of One-Eyed Men: More of Plutarch’s Life of Sertorius
I wrote earlier about Sertorius and his white fawn. Another aspect of Plutarch’s Sertorius that I find striking is the introduction that has correspondences to both Jung’s synchronicity and Freud’s uncanny. With Jung’s notion we get meaningful coincidence and pattern detection which are here in Plutarch’s opening. With Freud’s uncanny, we get doubling and doppelgängers, … Continue reading The Land of One-Eyed Men: More of Plutarch’s Life of Sertorius
From the Eunoia Archives: Coker’s Para-Philosophical Advice
I took John Coker’s intro to philosophy class my first semester of college and eventually took a class or directed study with him every semester for the next four years. I spent hours talking to him about music, literature, and philosophy. I still have books he gave me. I feel lucky that I was able … Continue reading From the Eunoia Archives: Coker’s Para-Philosophical Advice
Sounds in the Mockingbird Mound with Scott Bazar
Here’s the second in a series of collaborations with Florida-based composer/improviser Scott Bazar. I can’t recommend his audio/visual work enough. Here’s my post on our earlier collaboration. More on the way…(I have to finish a couple of videos first.) Continue reading Sounds in the Mockingbird Mound with Scott Bazar
A Great Power with Little to No Responsibility
ME: I always like our time cuddling and watching movies or whatever, but I also like seeing how much you all do your own things: playing and drawing, being imaginative. 5YO: We like playing. It’s our superpower. ________ The beginning of the school year has already brought with it some interesting stories. Our youngest will … Continue reading A Great Power with Little to No Responsibility
Date Night Suggestion: Go Bowling, Get Sad
My wife and I will get a rare date night soon thanks to Nana watching the kids. Our 5YO’s date-night suggestion: “You should go bowling. Then get sad that we’re not there and come back and get us and then we all can go bowling.” I think the “us” is her and her sister, but … Continue reading Date Night Suggestion: Go Bowling, Get Sad
Abecedarian–That’s How Easy Love Can Be.
The Jackson 5 songs are fantastic for dancing and studying the electric bass, but for life advice, they sometimes fall flat. “I Want You Back” is how I test a bass’s playability, but testing love through the “simplicity” or “easiness” suggested in “ABC” is probably a mistake. In 2012, we had our first child and … Continue reading Abecedarian–That’s How Easy Love Can Be.
Annotated Dreams and Swamp Things
The 5YO told me a dream: I went on a walk and I found the pond. (The one we walk to behind our place, though it sounds like she’s discovering it here in some dream geography.) I saw a copperhead and he tried to get me, but I punched him in the face. (There are … Continue reading Annotated Dreams and Swamp Things
The Week That Was, or Summertime Roles
It’s early, but the kids are awake and packing. They get to spend part of today with their Nana. Amy and I will be celebrating our anniversary. We usually stroll through the rose garden we were married in and go out to dinner. We might attempt to make homemade ramen. I’m not sure. I’m behind … Continue reading The Week That Was, or Summertime Roles
