"'Writing is really quite simple; all you have to do is sit down at your typewriter and open a vein.' From the writer's vein into the reader's vein: for better or worse a transfusion" (From F. Buechner's, The Clown in the Belfry, 1992). My purpose in adding my thoughts to the myriad of others available throughout cyberspace is simply to open my own veins, or provide an outlet for self-expression with the hope that my own bloodflow may enhance someone else's Godward heartbeat in the process.

Take the Long Look
I speak in favor of taking the long look at life. A fixed point is not adequate for understanding the line it is irrevocably and integrally a part of. Refuse to judge your life and your God in any given moment. You are not a stone; your life is a river flowing that consists of eddies and currents and backflows. To judge everything on the basis of this one thing is insane. And insanity is a hard thing to live with.
