thanks, ken'th, I'll in all prob keep trying because I like writing and
writing always assumes some kind of 'public' in its very writing (writing is
writing-to {and from}); it's a mitsein even if no-one responds or is even
reading; while I'm busy with paid (badly) work, I tend to write in the form
of (musically) antiponies (answering/repeating in another mode) and
antephonies (speaking alongside or be-sides or a-sides) -- it's quick and
assumes a call of some sort that might find an interesting focus.
but it does get exhausting at times... I'm being enlivened at the mo' by
reading Allen's remarkable book 'Being Jewish/Reading Heidegger' with which
later I shall attempt a dialogue whether anyone's concretely listening or
not (again because, like Allen, I find myself (philosophically) in writing
(to... from...) and the list provides an opportunity). Even if nothing
happens (no-one writes concretely) a dialogic space is opened/opening in
this environment, a tension, an eros, an awaiting, polemos...
