Slouching from Bethlehem

    1. Hee hee. Yeah, this one is a bit more esoteric, I’m afraid. I may no longer be religious, but I admit there are intricate details of theology that still kind of fascinate me. How such an unwieldy belief system can still thrive in this day and age is something that I constantly wonder about. Plus, it’s not often one gets to see todgers represented in comics. 😉

  8. I like your thinking. You’re getting there, but not quite. I’d say – ‘words are the smallest means of forming meaning or intent…’ along with The Silence of the spaces (i.e. punctuation) inbetween. Thusly ‘Haiku’ were born & the need for spoken words. I say the daze of polarised thinking are numbered, when we accept a ‘spectrum’ view approach to problem solutions – checkout Rob Graves’ poem ‘In broken Images’ & ‘A Warning to Children’.
    The societal change in philosophy I think you’re getting at is one of losing religion but finding faith.

    1. I like that take, Dave. Head and heart is a great way to view this! As for ‘timestream’, that’s a science fiction term. According to Wikipedia, it “is a metaphorical conception of time as a stream”, and so it felt right to use the term within this fantasy context. 🙂

  14. Never seen the word ‘forfend’ before…no idea what morphemes are either (till now…) Google is defo ‘my friend’….a ‘glaring of cats’ does sound interesting especially cue the ‘glare’ from the ‘cherub?’ in the Crumbcast script. Simply brill! [you and Tati get me checking up new ‘words’ every time. (unit of meaning, comes to mind)]

  15. I enjoyed this a lot. I used to work for a company who claimed “We (the company) were making “Quantum Leaps in the * industry.”

    Of course, I know what he meant- he was clearly Scott Bakula hoping the next leap would be the one home.
