I loved Mama Day's strength, intuitiveness, and inventiveness.

I learned that metaphysical inquiry has stalled due to questions about epistemological methods; learned that quibbling over the ways to reason can sometimes keep us from moving the discussion forward; was struck by the argument that statements of belief are statements of fact (from the perspective of the believer, of course) and that in a purely deductive way such statements are like empirical knowledge gained. Beliefs are subjective and absolute simultaneously (an absurdity that almost discounts pure reason as the only way to go).

Miles kept quietly pushing; insisting on doing things his way. Was deeply moved and awed by how he managed to break his drug habit alone.
