A Meadow: Not so specifically. Emotionally, rather.
april 2010 by bkerr
For the past few months I have been pulling apart my whole world and rearranging the pieces as best I can. Self-inflicted cleaning of the soul will eventually leave a big empty space somewhere. Just when I think I've arrived at a beautiful new place I look around and am confused again. It's hard to get it all right.
I am tired of tearing things apart and holding stuff back. It just breaks me to no end.
We devote so much time to learning new things, but I am trying to unlearn thought patterns I've acquired over the past 6 years so that I can look at my life with fresh binoculars and microscopes. More powerful lenses, macro and micro.

Local newspapers in peril: The town without news | The Economist
july 2009 by bkerr
At the moment hyper-local sites tend to be filled with discussions of town fetes and the next music night at the village pub. It may be, says Roland Bryan of Associated, that this is the equivalent of small talk at a cocktail party, and that people will eventually get down to local politics. Or they may not. As local newspapers fail, we may learn that their real value was less as a check on politicians than simply as a forum for casual conversation—a place where a town can talk to itself.
