On reading Willard: It took twenty-one years after beginning graduate studies in literacy plus online philosophy via dial-up modem on a Gateway and book shipments from early Amazon to a remote P.O. Box one hundred miles or so from his birthplace to learn about Dallas Willard this year through a new ProLiteracy membership and finding his connection to Frank Laubach, who, oddly, wasn’t even considered in those earlier studies. Why not Laubach, a “mystic known as ‘The Apostle to the Illiterates’”? The question could incline a study in itself.

The spelling ‘camomile’ is a British derivation from the French.” (via Wikipedia)
