					<description><![CDATA[What you&#039;ve said --works that have changed your life-- goes a long way toward describing what I understand to be the sacred.

					<description><![CDATA[The sacred?&#160;I don&#039;t know if I&#039;ve ever experienced that, frankly.&#160;Still I can cite four works that have, no exaggeration, changed my life.&#160;Listed in reverse order of discovery:
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Descartes&#039; Error,&lt;/i&gt; Antonio Damasio
&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;Minima Moralia,&lt;/i&gt; T.W. Adorno&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Society of the Spectacle,&lt;/i&gt; Guy Debord&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&#034;Sunday Morning,&#034; Wallace Stevens&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;

A strange list, I know.&#160;But each of them helped me to confront something either in myself or the world (that&#039;s an inclusive or, by the way).&#160;But if, when I first discovered them, I thought I had mastered both the texts and what they helped me face, whenever I revisit them I find myself less and less sure of what I understood in the text and in the world.&#160;Yet that re-engagement is still deeply rewarding.

Is my experience of these works just a projection of my own struggle with myself and the world?&#160;Probably.&#160;But why these books?&#160;I&#039;ll have to think about that.

Anyway, my $0.02US.&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;]]></description>
