Of how the machinations of my mind materialized the path it would then travel, I've an even clumsier grasp. I believe there is something significant to be found within the folds of fumbled expression held by the essay I had composed. Now, a year later (finding myself in possession of more diversely and formidably equipped faculties), I shall recompose its art and prose, hoping to attain a composition that more capably communicates that which I have to say. It shall begin with a declaration. It shall end with an appeal. Two waypoints shall lie between the beginning and the ending. With a little luck, journey's end shall bring clarity to the both of us as to how and why the path was chosen.</p> 569 570 571 572 573<p><a class="read-more" href="/2023/09/11/what-follows-is.html">Read More</a></p> 574 575 576 577 578 579 </section><footer> 580 <a href="https://moondeer.blog/2023/09/11/what-follows-is.html" class="u-url"> 581 <time datetime="2023-09-11 08:44:34 -0800" class="dt-published"> 582 8:44 AM, Sep 11, 2023 583 </time> 584 </a> 585 </footer> 586</article> 587 588 589 590 591 592</li><li><article> 593 <header></header> 594 595 <section class="post-body"> 596 597 <p>In the event I never finish the rewrite, this is the paper I found last year providing the scientific explanation behind an answer I'd already deduced simply by observing y'all's shocked-silliness by post-second-impeachment-tr
