Several different lines from Leonard Sweet's Out of the Question...Into the Mystery hit me right between the eyes:
To transform the world, you have to enter it and engage.
To this, my idealistic self says, "Oh, yeah!" And my realistic self says, "Oh, shit." So, all I have to do is enter in and engage, eh? Do you know how incredibly overwhelmingly big this world is. And transform it!?! What in the heck does this look like? How does anyone do it!?!
Absence of beauty is a sign of absence of Spirit.
That's just great. I'm a bare, white walls kind of guy. Get some Spirit--hire a decorator.
So, welcome to the curmudgeonly side of the Contemplative Okie.

Hey, I didn't know I had any readers! You know, life has been happening. I think I'm waiting for the dust to settle a bit before I talk about it. I'll be back!
