My literary activity on the world-wide-web is a personal and quite industrious enterprize. When I can find the time, I am engaged in creating across this global internet a tapestry or a jig-saw puzzle of poetry and prose. At this site, readers will find one of my many journals, diaries or blogs. These various terms are used by various internet sites for a series of posts by one writer/author. The series of posts at this site is one of the many parts of this tapestry of prose and poetry I refer to above. Sometimes the series becomes lengthy and sometimes it remains brief. Like pieces of cloth or pieces of that jig-saw puzzle, the size, the shape and the length remain a bit of a mystery until the story is told, until time takes its course across life’s path.
This literary creation, this literary industry, has been created in the early evening of my life, in the last years of my middle age(56-59) and the first years of my late adulthood(60-64), by this retired teacher and lecturer who will be 65 in July 2009. He attempts to endow many a theme from the social sciences and humanities, from spiritual and secular subjects, with many layers of meaning. He tries to combine a high seriousness with a light and humorous style when appropriate and when he is able. This literary goal is difficult to achieve and has been a slowly evolving ambition since settling into Australian society in the 1970s after moving from Canada where I was born in 1944.

Though it would be far too presumptious on my own part to attempt speaking on behalf of the QL community as a whole, I believe that I can safely share a few words which might fairly represent the majority reaction to your post.
I trust that your Grand Narrative (and accompanying Easter-Egg hunt) is the laudable culmination of a life-time of serious scholarship and would be highly educational to any peoples of such persuasion; however, this particular forum is more reserved for individual works that can be shared, analyzed and/or cherished in an individual and less esoteric manner and in regard to their immediately observable merits. While I (not alone, I believe) encourage you greatly in your endeavours, I might suggest that moving this thread to a different forum ('General Discussions', perhaps) would better suit your purposes.
