Songs without Words

In a way, I feel like the intellectual struggles I’m faced with now are a resistance against the ever-increasing pressures to differentiate.  There just comes a point where it becomes so difficult to maintain a fairly high standard of ability and knowledge in multiple disciplines.  Human knowledge cannot possibly fit within a single mind, but facing that reality is still hard.  The threat of falling into mediocrity in every field is a big possibility now, and I probably have to make a decision about what to let go before it’s too late.
