WOOD THRUSH BOOKS -- PHILOSOPHY JOURNAL |
WTB catalog blurb:
This random collection of musings has been culled from a philosophy journal kept between 1998 and 2005 -- a critical period in the development of the author´s worldview. While most of the concepts presented here are given better treatment elsewhere in more formal essays, the brevity of these excerpts makes them accessible, providing a certain transparency to an unconventional way of seeing things.Excerpts from the chapbook:
I feel a definite sense of power when I start up my car and motor down the road, but my pedestrian thoughts seem to carry more weight than my automotive ones.About the authorAt some point, life asserted itself into an inanimate universe. And that, no doubt, it the most religious statement anyone can make.
Where does love fit into the greater scheme of things and why can't it be reduced to a mathematical formula?
If you want to be right, then you don't want to be real. The truth always gets in the way of being correct.
Beneath order, a layer of chaos. Beneath that chaos, another layer of order. When do we get to the bottom of things?
Walt McLaughlin writes poetry, essays and narratives about his backcountry experiences. He has several books in print, including a narrative about hiking Vermont´s Long Trail, Forest under my Fingernails, and another about his immersion in the wilds of Alaska, Arguing with the Wind. He lives in St. Albans, Vermont with his wife, Judy.
