On blogging revisited

M: btw, i love your last post
Me: which one?
M: god in all things
that is very much how i feel about religion/spirituality
Me: oh that one
M: yeah, that one!!
Me: its one of the reason's I started the blog - I don't remember the details!
but that said, do I need to if I've successfully incorporated my conclusions into my belief structure?
it is nice to go back and look over what I've come up with with a critical eye though
M: hmmm - no, you;ve already achieved what you're supposed to accomplish by remembering
Me: well but i don't remember all the nuances of the argument
what i remember was in general terms
and I'm sure I missed something important
but that said - its there now and I can work on it if the need move me
moves
M: yeah
Me: one of the problems with contemplating an idea is that if you aren't acively working on it you tend to forget details that are important and can lose the thrust of your thoughts and have a hard time picking up where you left off
M: on the other hand, you often get really good, different perspective that way
Me: sure but it bothers me if I comepltely forget what that insight was the got me excited about the idea in the first place!
M: well that would be irritating :)
