I concur.
I too could very much perceive a strong sense of genuine expression, as if the article had a sort of "grounding" in actual experience. It felt as if the writing was merely a conduit to express this particular quality... kind of like I had a direct link to Steve and the state he was in when he was writing this article (I find certain books do this as well... no matter what state I'm in, I only have to pick up
A New Earth and I can literally feel a sort of energy radiating from it, and I begin to feel my state shifting to match the energy).
Reminds me of something Steve wrote in his article,
My Experience of Creativity:
As my ego dissolves during a creative endeavor, I enter a state of oneness with the ideas I’m exploring. If I write an article on productivity, I feel as if I am productivity. If I write about courage, I feel completely fearless. If I write about emotions like love or joy, I sometimes experience them so intensely that tears stream down my face, but I’m only aware of the tears to the degree they cause my eyesight to blur or tickle my cheeks. During an act of creation, I temporarily become whatever I’m creating.

@ Steve:
Excellent writing, Steve -- this is another one of those "sweet spot" articles.
You've definitely been on a roll lately... and while you could attribute my favour of your more recent articles to me liking the particular "channel" your blog is on at the moment (ie. the notion that some readers will praise certain articles and then get bent out of shape when you "change to a different channel"), that tends to not work for me since I like all of your channels.
Again though, I think this is more about how you are writing then the particular topics you write about. Keep it up!
But yep, I can see you now,
assigning me a mental label based on my feedback... I'm too much of a long term reader to match "
the convert"... perhaps I'm a better match for the the "
Steve fanboy" label, or maybe the "
sweet spot writing style junkie".
I feel so pigeon holed and generalised.
