I am glad and honored to be one of your kindred spirits.<br /><br />I think my connection to Calvinism is glancing, mostly in the realm of Protestant work ethic. But there's a deeper philosophical insight or complex layered thing that I understand in little glimpses...like sparks of fire as I dangle over a burning pit.

Believe me, I am often having similar conversations with myself in my origami brain, minus the Calvinism since I was raised in the RC Church, the thought of which leads to another whole kind of origami brain. But anyway.

I go to a discussion group which is led by an ex-Lutheran Episcopalian so talk of the thought of these Protestant theologians is not as foreign to me as you might think. Faith and works, etc. <br /><br />I was very struck by an essay (or feuilleton)by Robert Walser about how people move around in a big city annoyed because they each think they are the center of it and everything should bend to conform to their convenience. I've been noticing a lot how often I am exactly that person. But why should the universe accomodate me at all? It's weird that we can become so attached to our centrality, despite all the evidence to the contrary...<br /><br />My orgami brain syndrome is that as many times as I've typed out feuilleton, I still can't spell it and have to check it out every time. And in fact, I just spelled it wrong again.seana grahamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03774794086733027289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-83370509834700557412012-04-05T19:54:42.094-05:002012-04-05T19:54:42.094-05:00Side effects of treatments for Origami Brain Syndr...Side effects of treatments for Origami Brain Syndrome include:<br /><br />1) dirty looks<br />2) folded brain<br />3) I forgot what 3 was (again)Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-71169439972896212282012-04-05T19:53:10.713-05:002012-04-05T19:53:10.713-05:001) I am drinking an adult beverage!

This was my second day of going to a bank after work to straighten out messes. My ET (essential/intentional tremor) has been pronounced of late, and I suspect the bankers have me marked down as a suspicious character exhibiting nervous polygraph mannerisms. Sometimes I can forget all about my tremor. Other times I can't remember if it is an existential tremor or a transcendental tremor. <br /><br />Hope your side effects aren't worse than your condition!<br /><br />Is this retreat weekend?Collagemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818246340865714754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-63348232673363178392012-04-05T15:08:56.996-05:002012-04-05T15:08:56.996-05:00And watch out for any treatments...there are side ...And watch out for any treatments...there are side effects.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06559881249054540947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2276911630325008276.post-78574400292778774722012-04-05T14:56:32.292-05:002012-04-05T14:56:32.292-05:00Origami Brain Syndrome affects thousands of people...Origami Brain Syndrome affects thousands of people just like you (it's a commercial--can't you hear it?).<br /><br />I get ya..Hannah Stephensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15792203070774504501noreply@blogger.com
