The complexities of “isms” leave room for damage in a multitude of ways. It can be a landmine for well meaning people and a nuclear bomb for the completely unthinking.

A john in the midst of a service is not what I expected this morning. And by john I mean the kind with his pants down around his ankles not the kind that would give a legal reason to have your pants down around your ankles. But on a slightly gray Thursday morning, when the […]

I lamented to R today that this election, with all of the hype on hope, was exhausting. He responded: well, it’s supposed to be tiring… hope takes work. if the election were a foregone conclusion, then instead of hope there’d just be expectation. that doesn’t require any effort at all. 🙂 I hadn’t thought about […]
