I am a wanderer. I would say that I am a seeker, but sometimes I have no idea what I might be seeking, so I will stick with wanderer. This blog is more a public journal than anything. I don't claim to have life figured out. I simply stumble from mystery to mystery, and share my reflections along the way. Sometimes I feel burdened, and trudge. Sometimes? Well sometimes grace breaks through, and its time to dance.

looking at ourselves
People will do anything, no matter how absurd,
in order to avoid
facing their own soul.
Carl
Gustav Jung
__________________________________________
People will do anything
People will believe anything
People will engage in any behaviors
That allows them to stay the way they are
That will allow them to stay entrenched
In hate
Self-righteousness and fear
That will permit them to exclude
Minimize, judge and oppress
destroy
When we refuse to look at ourselves
Refuse to look at how we think
How we view others
(Which is revealed in what we say, and what we do, and who
we vote for)
When we will not entertain the idea
That we might be wrong
That the problem might be us
We are in great danger
Of becoming
Horrors
