Notes from Reading Week of Winter 2025.
Late last year, I had to the idea that my new year’s intention would be around “reading, writing, moving, and playing”. I kept to it for about a week and then the new semester hit and blew up my ability to do anything. After some reflection, I realized that I needed some mechanism to keep me focussing on these intentions. So, here’s a little bit of a post about my week as viewed through the lense of that intention.
I’m participating a Pedagogy Group organized by the Center for Teaching and Learning.
Reading and writing are the first technologies of any technological society. They are the base and foundation on which everything else is built. Compare the ~300,000 years of human history before the invention of writing with the more recent ~6000 years of documented history. Culture has evolved considerably since the invention of writing. We ask our students to write so that they can come to wield the most powerful meta-tool humanity has ever created.
Some personal reflections on reading, writing, and worship.
A couple AI generated images of an emblem that says: Trust the Process. It’s all Connected.
