***warning, some spoilers***
I finished reading Chapterhouse: Dune this morning and have been thinking about it and the previous book Heretics of Dune all day. Then I got home and started reading Hunters of Dune. I think I may have entirely missed the point of the last half of Chapterhouse. I came away with a totally different interpretation (especially the last chapter) than Hunters seems to lay out. I am tempted to stop now and continue my own speculation on those two books. I saw the two characters in the final chapter as looking in fondly on a universe that was still filled with "toddlers" much as the Bene Gesserite looked at mankind. I thought the Honored Matres would eventually be turned into Bene Gesserites proper because in the end hate destroys itself. Leto's Golden Path created the circumstances of the characters in the last chapter's existence (Face Dancers with no Masters from the Scattering) and the the taming of the Bene Gesserite by making them acknowledge that love was not "a disposable thing from man's early evolution" but that which seperated humanity from animals. Like I said I've been thinking about it all day.

A brief word about the Joy of Art
Like many others I grew up watching Bob Ross. One of his favorite sayings was "there are no mistakes here, just happy accidents. You can learn to work with anything that happens here." For me this is the true joy of art. Does the line you just drew not do exactly what you had in mind? Take a minute, look at it and see if it has brought to light something you hadn't thought of before. Perhaps its better than you originally intended. So rarely does any picture of mine end up exactly as originally pictured in my mind, but the end result is something different or greater than I had planned. Throughout our daily lives we adhere to the ru

“When all hope was gone, they heeded the counsels of despair. Had they continued to strive, defying their doom, some unforeseen wonder might have occurred. And if it did not, still their glory would have surpassed their failure.”

Great Steven Erikson Quote
"Such is the irony of life," Kruppe proclaimed, raising one pastry-filled hand over his head, "that one learns to distrust the obvious, surrendering instead to insidious suspicion and confused conclusion. But, is Kruppe deceived? Can an eel swim? Hurrah, these seeming muddy waters are home to Kruppe, and his eyes are wide with wonder.”

What is best in life? v.2
To crush the Milwaukee Brewers, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.
