I\u2019m blogging various thought complexes in between my home-making tasks of laundry, drying, folding, preparing foods, hanging up clothes, keeping track of my various papers, reading library books, waking up, going to sleep\u2014and those are peripheral to my core identity, which is manufacturing ideas for God. (Well, these other mundane tasks are less peripheral than before now that I\u2019m growing older. They express the reality that I am a mere mortal.)<\/p>\n
Speaking of God, the greater wholeness of which we\u2019re all a part\u2014I\u2019m sure I don\u2019t know. In my more grandiose moments I flatter myself by saying that I\u2019m one of the billions upon billions\u2014but still a tiny minority!\u2014who are daring to imagine where we\u2019re going. It\u2019s a sort of lighting a light. But then again, someone\u2019s got to do it. That idea gives me some comfort, I must admit.<\/p>\n
I\u2019m thinking of many other things, too, but not all manner of things. Meanwhile, there are a hundred times as many things I\u2019m NOT thinking about, either neglect-ing, avoiding, or have no idea that it would be expected, welcome, or even possible to think about. Although I confess that I\u2019ve given up feeling guilty for what I\u2019m not doing. There are billions on this planet who are doing other things. I do what I do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
