summer 2026
See the site home page for the current update.
I regret I’m not ready to do an update in line with “upcoming work to be done and shared” (June 19), but that clarity of wayfaring is faring well. I’m not posting to merely have something novel to share.
My specific project of many years is sprouting new foci daily, which I follow (like side trips on an itinerary which enriches the journey) until enough satisfaction returns me to an enriched route, a linearity of agenda which is getting extended by new segments. I want the little inspirations to stop sprouting, yet I don’t. I reach a horizon, determined to not yield to the next one, but I relent.
The middle of last month, I believed I had enough closure to continue my anticipated agenda. I was wrong, but that’s a happy advent.
Though I’m averse to promoting myself, I truly believe that what I'm to do will be useful, though the road from studied abstraction to current events can’t be briefly mapped.
Anyway, I’m not on vacation from my work; quite the contrary: I’m intently letting creative sprouting have its way until I’m fulfilled enough to come home in line.
I’m close. I’m determined, openly.
June 19 | “Pluralism of a garden party” playfully entitles a set of seven sober discussions which go my own way, implicitly anticipating upcoming work to be done and shared.
June 12 | Well, I didn’t get to a new posting this week. Expectation in creative work yields to the emergence of new paths (i.e., new theme development) which seem integral to doing what was intended.
May 21 | After three months of literary discussions (11 topics, now grouped under the title “Literature21”), I’m posting today in preface to more-conceptual venturing—not yet the interdomainal flourishing anticipated May 15 below (“spring 2026” posting), but getting there, maybe later than sooner because my desire to work more conceptually (re: May 8 below) is presently more appealing.
• “a conceptual spirit of telos“
• “for constellating interdomainal thought“
• “telic consilience from appellant cohering“
Earlier this week, I took a moment to simply google the phrase “gary e. davis berkeley conceptual design,” which gave me a creepy result. You can’t believe he’s not an ambitiously practical guy.
