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.

What does it take?
“We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered
minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.”
Johann
Wolfgang von Goethe

Disordered minds
Disordered hearts
Disordered souls
What does it take to carry a torch in the darkness
Seeking to create terror
What does it take to carry a shield marked with the symbols
of hate
And to strike out violently
No on behalf of justice
But on behalf of prejudice and hate?
What does it take to drive a car into a mass of people
Killing and maiming
What does it take to tweet a response
That refuses to call white, domestic terrorism what it is?
What does it take?
A disordered mind?
A disordered heart?
A disordered soul?
What does it take?
