epistle log 30irtysomething
fade . . .
closing this parenthetical summer, i wonder about the project. enthusiastic at first, it soon languished, and grew out of its bounds. i should have known better. the summer of my introspection was different from the standard eLog in that it was not isolated to an instant: these moments grew from present to past and steeped in my brain for months. so it only makes sense that the whole thing could not be compiled and finished until now, when the sum total of the moments are behind me. i can look back at these now, a little more objective, but also a little more inspired, and more free to do the concepts justice. not the process i expected, but on the whole a fruitful venture. at least for me. the end result is this: these pieces may never had made it out of my head, and if they had, i would most likely have disliked the words. the project gave these ideas life beyond my abbreviated attention span, and they come to you in a lump sum, to be considered both separately and as a whole. and they ain’t half bad.
so ends the summer of my introspection, a sub-project of the epistle log. thanks for your perseverance: i hope i won’t try your patience like this again. summer fades: all look towards autumn.
