- W52467444 abstract "A t 1994 Conference on College and Communication [CCCC] I attended a half-day workshop entitled Revisiting ' Sites of Com position,' a follow-up of Spiritual S ites of Composition session at 1 992 CCCC. Both workshop and session were fascinating in their open acknowledgment of existence of religion and spirituality at a conference as secular as CCCC. Until attending that first session in 1 992, I would not have imagined that anything to do with word spirit would ever be taken seriously in field of composition. I had read James Moffett's Writing, Inner Speech, and Meditation a few years before, but had thought of it as an exploration of matters that could never be acceptable in field at large. However, l istening to papers in that 1 992 session (published in May 1 994 issue of College Com position and Communication) and participating i n 1 994 workshop, I realized that idea of addressing spirituality as a part of composition theory was not necessarily so farfetched. I was both intrigued and disturbed by that realization. In this essay I want to tell story about how my thinking about spirituality and composition has evolved. On one hand, something about atmosphere at that 1 992 session made me want to run from room. People were talking about recovery and empower ment, intuition and meditation, spirituality and an inner source. While I was attracted to all those subjects, a part of me felt resistant to thought of con necting them to my work as a college teacher. After all, I thought, I teach logical discourse and theoretical analysis; I expect my students to make explicit state ments and use well-supported arguments. The words I was hearing, in contrast, sounded fuzzy, undefined, embarrassingly vague. Bringing such words into classroom could cause great damage, I thought, and this thought grew out of my fear of what William A. Covino ( 1 994) calls the abbreviation of inquiry that constitutes American magic consciousness (p. l 2 1 ) . Spirituality could be misin terpreted as a kind of dangerously deceptive magic, I worried; it could encourage students to be less thoughtful, to be satisfied with easy and illogical answers. On other hand, I felt deeply engaged and excited to be in a room with well over a hundred conference-goers interested in spirituality. I felt a kind of faith in value of spiritual ity, which I defined as an intuition about something beyond physical world. That intuition does not necessarily have to do with what people call God, I told myself; instead, it could simply be a way of digging deeper into experience of being a l iving body, and therefore was something my students could surely benefit from. Furthermore, whole idea of spiritual-" @default.
