- In a lecture Rod Wilson at Regent told me that when we speak we speak around one hundred and fify words a minute. When we think we think around four hundred words a minute. Conversation can easily become a free-association game, waiting impatiently for one’s turn, trading tangental anecdotes. Listening is rarer than rare.
- I was listening to a speaker today at the WIT Symposium and my mind wandered for a moment or ten. Having missed breakfast I was hungry. Being hungry I was thinking about food. Thinking about food I was thinking about wheat, wondering if this reduced-wheat thing is working. It is, I think. Tiredness is a creeping dull greyness behind my eyes. After fewer-than-normal hours sleep last night I felt 90%, where until recently on the best days I would feel 80%.
- I heard a Catholic teacher say today “… of course it all begins with faith — faith as gift, all of grace. Whatever else we might say about Augustine, he got that right.”
