I have to say, if I'm disappointed about anything I did over the past 3 odd years, it's that there are so few people with whom I can share the things that are foremost on my mind right now. I'm not sure when and where I screwed up- and I guess I wouldn't say that I'm unhappy, either- just a bit disappointed. I guess the ability to forge on ahead without needing so much approval and consent from others means that I stop seeking out people to tell things to. I hope that it doesn't mean I've stopped paying attention, though I know that has probably happened too.
In any case, I feel oddly hopeful these days- I don't know where I'm going, but I feel like it will be somewhere good. And I'm ready to see what happens next, and to enjoy the journey there.
I guess I shouldn't talk so much about myself on a day that, at the very least, should make people think about things outside their own small world. I hope that we learn how to do that with less hatred and more love, that we are more and more able to make the small stretch of imagination that a person across the world is still a man, a woman, a child of God. Christ has come, Christ has risen, Christ is in the world- that should give us comfort in fear and a feeling of urgency that what we do to our neighbor, we do to Christ.
