  It’s not like I disagree or anything,

  But isn’t changing your profile picture on facebook to an image that says “No War in Iraq” a little 2003?

  A speech that hits home, today.

  “Rather, I exhort you to love another human being. It may seem odd for me to tell you this. You may expect it to happen naturally, without deliberation. That is false. Modern society is anti-love. We’ve taken a microscope to everyone to bring out their flaws and shortcomings. It far easier to find a reason not to love someone, than otherwise. Rejection requires only one reason. Love requires complete acceptance. It is hard work – the only kind of work that I find palatable.”

  Each of us embarks on a journey outward into the world and inward into the self. We are, as Durkheim (1912) said, at once collective and individual. Society is mysterious to us because we have lived in it and it now dwells inside us at a level that is not ordinarily visible from the perspective of everyday life. Writing is one way we try to bring the two into some mutual understanding that we can share with others. Ethnographic fieldwork, requiring us to participate in local society as we observe it, adds to our range of social experience, becomes an aspect of our socialization, brings lived society into our sources of introspection.

  Keith Hart, anthropologist, in his 2003 essay, “Studying World Society as a Vocation.” (online here: http://thememorybank.co.uk/papers/studying-world-society/)

  Deep Paper Thought

  Why did I think drinking a beer would help me with writing? Now I’m tipsy and sanding and staining a chair Gabe found in the alley.

  But it’s going to like nice with our kitchen table. so.
