I'm glad you are writing again. I certainly can share in your chagrin at earlier writings and positions; returning as a mid 30's to the job and coworkers I cut my adult teeth on as a young adult has been humbling. Yet, I think, akin to growing older with grace, it's helpful to look back and see the progress of wisdom, empathy, and understanding that time and a lived life bring. I hope that my future 60 year old self shakes her head in compassionate grace at the person I am today, for to not be doing so would mean my growth had stagnated.
Somehow your introduction managed to be a lengthy reminder that I assured you months ago I was going to read That Hideous Strength, but I still haven't done so and therefore have missed a large portion of your references because of my neglect. Working on that now...
