In The Left Hand of Darkness, Ursula K Le Guin writes...?
...a wonderful passage about The King being pregnant. Does anyone know the book well enough to tell me what chapter that's in?
2 AnswersBooks & Authors10 years agoDo you ask questions in order to give or to receive an answer?
This is kind of a survey for people who also ask questions. It's interesting to guess which answer an asker will choose, especially when the subject is religion. Sometimes a person's question suggests they will choose the answer that agrees best with what they already believe. Other times the question seems to be asked by a true seeker.
I'm hoping to start a discussion here. What about you? Why do you ask?

1 AnswerCommunity Service1 decade agoA very strange dream. Any thoughts?
I just had one of those twilight dreams where I'm not quite asleep, but the mind is still downloading the mundane recordings of the day. Two relevant details: I load freight onto trucks. I then record the loads in a computer.
So in the dream, I've placed my hat on one of the skids I'm loading. Next, I am still in the truck, but wondering: If I close this file, will the hat still be there when I reopen it? Because the hat is real. It can't be stored in a computer. I can't actually see a computer. I'm seeing the skid I'm loading. But you know how dreams confuse things.
This isn't a question, as such. But I'll choose the most interesting comment on it. All perspectives encouraged to reflect. Are you a Jungian interpreter? Does it remind you of a song, a movie, a book? An original thought? You know. Like, whatever.

So in the dream, I have placed my hat on one of the skids I'm loading. Next, I am still in the truck, but wondering: If I close this file, will the hat still be there when I reopen it? Because the hat is real, as opposed to the data of the freight.

It means something is bound to go wrong, and I know it was the name of a TV series. I may need to be content to accept that no one knows where these sorts of expressions come from.
