A Renewal

 


Welcome to the revived and revamped blog originally called Quincy Writers Group. The new blog is called Reading, Writing and Arithmetic Club. We are readers and writers and people who have a fascination with numbers and images (although this isn't required to be a part of the group). We want to read good books and get together to discuss them. We also want to write essays, poems and just about anything. Some of us love numbers and like to write code to generate pictures and maybe write about that too!

  2. This is good news. Writing can be a lonely endeavor.

    1. Lonely indeed, especially if the writing is never shared with anyone. There's an Iranian-American poet (I've forgotten his name, but I like his work) who said in an interview that if the writing is not somehow shared, it's just ink on paper.

Sofa-Philo: Musing on Reincarnation's Knots with a Woman of Faith

Greetings, fellow sofa-philosophers! Today, we're venturing into the swirling mists of reincarnation, guided by a question from myself, a woman of faith not confined by organized religion, but embracing the eternal, believing the Divine and defined by relationship. Buckle up, for we're tackling thorny questions that may prick even the most seasoned thinkers. Firstly, the "one spirit or soul" puzzle. Some interpret it as a single, eternal entity cycling through lives, carrying experiences like baggage (or maybe souvenirs?), while others envision a pool of souls embarking on independent journeys. Both hold fascinating implications: the single soul whispers of shared pasts and intertwined destinies, while the individual soul speaks of unique paths and a boundless universe of consciousness. Then comes the elephant in the metaphysical living room: population explosion. If souls cycle, doesn't the human herd keep multiplying like bunnies on espresso? Some hypothesize in...

Dear Diary

 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.
