paradoxMUCH MADNESS IS DIVINEST SENSE
By Emily Dickinson
Much Madness is divinest Sense -
To a discerning Eye -
Much Sense - the starkest Madness -
Tis the Majority
In this, as All, prevail -
Assent - and you are sane -
Demur - you're straightway dangerous -
And handled with a Chain
I've heard many good things about Dreamwidth, and yes, the fannish enthusiasm has overwhelmed me. I'm only human, I can't help but be caught up in all the excitement. I've used LiveJournal, InsaneJournal, Blogger and WordPress in an attempt to convince myself that journalling is a useful hobby, but eventually realised that what I enjoy is the community side of things. LJ was very good for this, back before they started making stupid changes that only really served their greed! I mostly used my journal there to note spiritual comments & links that had inspired me, and spent far more time reading my friends list & posting comments in other journals.
I intend for this journal to become an archive of all the aspects of my life that drive me to write, not just the spiritual ones. So, in the interests of giving you, gentle reader, fair warning, I advise you to check out my profile page to see just what those aspects might be.
