The Structure of Unwritable

“Unwritable” is the title of a roughly four-thousand-page collection of about 1,500 writings, essays, and articles composed gradually over the course of some twenty years.

The meaning of “unwritable” is something that cannot be captured in words or in the mind — perhaps a description of God, or of the world itself.

The site began as ordinary blog posts, written at different times in response to the conditions and events of life. A summary of the posts is available on the “Post Summaries” page.

The site supports an advanced search, PDF export, and browsing by topic. Examples of useful searches are listed on the “Suggested Searches” page.

The original structure of Unwritable is a set of tags, topics, and hashtags. In recent years a secondary structure of categories has been added.

My hope is that Unwritable is an attempt to point toward that being which is, in truth, unwritable. It is everywhere, and it needs no description from anyone. May these writings — and all who walk the path of truth — be a guidance, however small.

O You beyond all imagination, comparison, and thought, beyond all that has been said and heard and read, the gathering has ended and our life has reached its end, yet we remain, as ever, at the very beginning of Your praise.
