Waving Through Words

Corresponding with all of you in the online classroom and more specifically through this Blog, I imagine I feel somehow like Adam Smith and David Hume must have felt when they wrote to each other through their respective writings. Sometimes someone in the class would respond to something I wrote, or I to them in reference to an idea, argument, opinion, and the mentioning of that person will not be explicit. Yet somehow there was a dialogue through the seemingly independent texts. I did not realize this until I started reading the entire blog more in depth over the last couple of weeks. I realized that there were others writers who were telling me things and challenging me, as well as praising me, or so I thought so in my mind. The real conversation was of course between what thoughts I preconceived and the ones that had been recently presented to me. We were not really conversing, not on any plane that could be seen anyway and I came to the conclusion, that whether or not these communicational writings were intentional or coincidence is irrelevant. It seems that all writers of all times communicate through their writing to readers throughout time and space, and they are waving to us all.
