These entries are only improving, thanks for that!

A question about "a little mysticism is if we want to take seriously our Belief in Bigger Things" -- why do you assert that? I happen to agree, by defining "Bigger Things" as God and His attendant attributes, teachings, etc. How do you think about it?

I think it can be that if you want to be. I have no idea what I believe in theological terms but I think trying to be an artist in this moment means rejecting the status quo, part of which is a dogmatic materialism

Fair enough (again, agreed). And based on your Emerson influence, dogmatic materialism is what deadens the freer artistic spirit?

I suppose I just think it's silly! It certainly doesn't help.
