[May 2002 journal entry]
I was recently asked how – in 1973? in 1979? in 1987? in 1992? – I would have read my journal entries. The question made me wonder. Given my response to Bonhoeffer’s prison letters when I first read them in 1975/76 and my response to a widening exposure to the history of ideas during the years in question, I think I would have responded with considerable interest and openness.
