In a step away from academic endeavors, I recently received a reminder of an online journal, The Alexandrian, reaching near the deadline for its July issue, themed Time and Eternity. I decided to send in two sonnets I wrote some time ago which are read as a pair, Sonnets of Lightness and Darkness. They are something of a cosmology with an element of psychomachia. It had been my plan to submit them to a journal some time ago, but I never got around to it. Greg was kind enough to help me edit them into their present copy. His insights on the senses and the use of visuals was most helpful indeed!
And now, I guess, I wait to see if they are accepted.

An Overdue Update
I've finished reading that book, now, and I expect I shall read it again. It has a strong emphasis upon learning to listen through journaling. I've started journaling a little, and I have found it to be a very good exercise, although a challenge to establish as a discipline. However, one must look on the source of why it is challenging: whether it is God telling you something, or if it is a sign that you should be pursuing it all the more as the devil seeks to stop you from getting closer to God. In this case, for myself, I believe it is either the latter or my lack of discipline, or something of both.
In other news, I've been reading Anticlaudianus, by Alain de Lille for Latin class. It is an interesting work, although I tend to agree with C. S. Lewis on the value of this work (Lewis had Opinions on it and Alain de Lille). Allegory of Love discusses it and Cosmographia, by Bernardus Silvestris; and while a certain kindness is extended to Bernardus for the originality of his topic, he tears Alanus ab Ilanus to shreds as an unoriginal hack. On the whole it was an intriguing analysis which I do not fully agree with, although I certainly do to a certain extent.
And on a more random note, steampunk computer things! I cannot believe I did not know about this genre until recently. Or rather, that it existed as its own genre.
