PostADay is 1/3 done

They tell me over at PostADay that we are 1/3 of the way there. Well, I’m 1/3 minus 2, or something. I think that there were a couple of days there with bonus posts, so it will all even out in the end. Also, if you’ve been with me for the long haul, you’ve probably noticed that I have a tendency towards the 1500 word post… that’s gotta count for something.

So, the prompt for the day is to pick our own three favourite posts since the beginning of the year. Let’s see… three posts. Give me a minute or six while I review… Oooh. Totally self-indulgent and self-referential… Recursive blogging! Yay! Math jokes and writing in the same post!

Okay. Three earnest posts:

1. It’s very recent, but since I think that Earth Day should be every day, I give you a reprise of The Living Earth: A Meditation in Science and Reverence
2. A post in which I suggest that we need a new aesthetic, one that goes beneath the surface, one that gives us Beauty, All the Way Down.
3. And in the same vein, which I guess is the earnest entreaty for life, I also wrote a Litany for Agnostics.

My three favourite picture posts

1. Winter Evergreen
2. What I watch instead of TV
3. And, why there is was a giant pair of pants on my front lawn (before the final ice storm).

And, for a bonus, the post in which I attempt to get a laugh out of German philosophy. ‘Cause I’m that daring.
