palimpsestic evolution

Language is an archaeological vehicle...the language we speak is a whole palimpsest of human effort and history. -Russell Hoban


We will look backward for a couple of blogs so I can demonstrate how I create a sort of evolution in this work...if that is what it can be called.  Yet the first one is last as we see them.  And as with all evolution there is one that is the best, but evolution cannot help itself, it will keep creating iterations and the will go up and then they will go down.  It just keeps making them, and if they get ugly so be it, it just continues, it spins in circles, it destroys its own creations...


After all, when you come right down to it, how many people speak the same language even when they speak the same language? -Hoban


This last one, I mean this first one, which is not really the first one but only one in a string, well this is my personal favorite, though I don't exactly know why or even if that is really true, it just is.
