I'm glad to hear you have entered into the mystery of Christ. When you look through a dark glass you can either focus on the well defined dirt on the glass or the vague image coming through the dirt. The dirt can be a fine map of where you need to go, but it's easier to get where you're going if you look through the dirty windshield to the road, even if it is hard to see.

Nicely spoken Daniel. You are beginning to put words to how so many people feel. That's why we need the poets.

And a beautiful piece of writing, I must say.

I'm touched by your courage to swim where it's sometimes not safe and often lonely.

Thank you. I let go of the anchor a couple years back and haven't learned to swim yet. I've popped above surface (or been helped) enough to keep from drowning.

I empathize strongly, and wish you the best.

I can very much relate to this, as can so many people I know so you are certainly not alone :)
