“Belief in the truth commences with the doubting of all those ‘truths’ we once believed.” – Friedrich Nietzsche<\/p>\n
This intellectual bomb-thrower has always been a favorite of mine though I’ve not ready any of his stuff cover to cover.\u00a0 A recent bio tries to make him into a closet hyper-religious, but if he is he did the damndest job of hiding it.\u00a0 Sometimes I think an atheist is just an atheist and not a cigar.<\/p>\n
I have felt the force flowing with me ever since the retreat.\u00a0 There’s something about being lifted in the mosh pit of old friends that buoys the soul.\u00a0 I’ve got out the pages of Missing I’ve written so far and am finishing an edit\/revision I began a while ago, then I’m going to pick up the keyboard and set byte to screen.\u00a0 Kate and I also identified a week in March when I can go back out to Blue Cloud and work intensively on the novel.\u00a0 I’m still weighing it since it seems indulgent, but, hey, maybe it’s time for this kind of indulgence.<\/p>\n
We had our business meeting this morning and I had a post-retirement anxiety tremor, so we ran numbers out past 2012.\u00a0 Hah.\u00a0 As if it matters.\u00a0 After 2012.\u00a0 Just in case, though, we ran them anyhow and the numbers do begin to make sense when looked at over a period of time.\u00a0 My tremor quieted.<\/p>\n
Had a call this morning from a brother asking for some reassurance.\u00a0 I gave it, though I’m not sure how my input helped. It’s humbling to be asked for such a thing.<\/p>\n
Met with Leslie, the UU student at UTS that I’m mentoring this year.\u00a0 It’s fun to watch a young person, she’s my age when I was in Sem, go through the back and forth of this strange vocation, ministry.\u00a0 Had I a chance to do it over again, knowing what I know now, I would have worked at McDonald’s.\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Not really.\u00a0 But, I wouldn’t have gone into the ministry.\u00a0 Maybe art history.\u00a0 Maybe politics full time.\u00a0 Maybe something else, but I wouldn’t have ended up in the ministry.\u00a0 But, I did.\u00a0 Go figure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
