Winston-Salem was...well, it was...exhausting. Being musical director is one hell of a headache, I'm sorry to say. And that's all I have to say about that.
Jesica Santillan is dead. Here come the lawsuits. I'm hearing stories about how our tuition is raised every year so that the medical center has enough money to pay out to people whose operations they've botched.
From The Abolition of Man
To reduce the Tao to a mere natural product is a step of that kind. Up to that point, the kind of explanation which explains things away may give us something,though at a heavy cost. But you cannot go on 'explaining away' forever; you will find that you have explained explanation itself away. You cannot go on 'seeing through' things forever. The whole point of seeing through something is to see something through it. It is good that the window should be transparent, because the street or garden beyond it is opaque. How if you saw through the garden too? It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.
