A Baffled Reader

A reader this morning commented on my first Xanga entry (July 20, 2002):

“To set one up (which I have not done because I don’t want anyone to know what I think),” … William Safire regarding “blogs”.

I still don’t know what you think.  Yet … I try, try, try.

Here’s one thing that I think– today– based on my “Hate Speech for Harvard,” on “Devil in the Details” (Log24, May 18 and 23), and, more recently, on

  1. last evening’s PA lottery number 005,
  2. the I Ching hexagram of the same number, and
  3. the New Yorker issue linked to at the end of the previous entry:
Revised New Yorker cover from 5/21/07
Revised version of the
New Yorker cover of 5/21/07
Commentary on the cover
by the PA lottery
on 5/25/07
in the form of the
evening number, 005.
In the I Ching, this
is the number of

HSU:
WAITING
(NOURISHMENT)

See also the previous entry
and Natalie Angier’s sneer
at a politician’s call for
prayer, which, she
said, involved the
“assumption that prayer is
some sort of miracle
Vicks VapoRub.”

Detail from the
5/21/07 New Yorker:

THE IMAGE

Hexagram 5: Waiting (Nourishment)

Clouds rise up to heaven:
The image of WAITING.
Thus the superior man
eats and drinks,
Is joyous and
of good cheer.

AMEN.
