One spammer gets a free ride from me today. The spam comment (I’m 99% sure that’s what it was) lodged on a post that was marvelously appropriate to my experience at a staff meeting earlier today. My own thoughts returned to me with an unalienated … well, if not majesty, at least dignity and purpose intact. (Apologies to Ralph Waldo E.) Following on from Martha’s thoughts on how blogs re-mind you–that is, give you your mind back again by returning you to earlier thoughts and stages of your own thinking–I see that I am spiraling upward (I trust) over a set of consistent concerns.

That’s reassuring. I can see some kinds of deep learning taking place that would be too slow or too delicate for me to track otherwise. Gives me hope. Gotta keep hope in the e-portfolio.
