Teach away! I wouldn't be the first person to ponder the role of humility in writing, nor in any other endeavor. I go back to the example of the scene in Pee-Wee Herman's Big Adventure where he plays the bellhop and keeps looking at the camera. Perhaps with consciousness of "knowing a little less than your readers" we can avoid that sense that the reader detects who we are as the author. Good to hear from you, David. Teach away!

It was so good to get to know you at "The Glen." I hope our paths will again cross--soon. I am teaching beginning Comp and, with permission, will use your words.

I am currently reading some presentations given by Flannery O'Connor. She expresses similar sentiment. It seems to me, the creative process is one of mystery. And as mystery does, it humbles us, or should. Mike Jean,
