yeah, i studied descartes a bit in school... i thought he was driving himself crazy by trying to prove, by argument, that god exists... damn the prof for making it a subject worthy enough to write an essay on.
I do know what you mean about the words being messy... they seem other-worldly when it comes to describing other-worldly things... other-worldly in the sense that it is so difficult to find the right words that really satisfy the intent... its almost like you have to have the truth of what is experienced ride piggy-back style on the backs of the ones that are chosen... perhaps it will be picked up by the reader in this way... but then again, maybe not...
it can be a game to try to make it happen though, just the same...
Thanks for the response.
