Self-Portrait at Sixty-Two

June 15, 2006.  "Human survival seems so much more complicated than mere animal existence.  People believe that they are on a journey with an invisible spirit, a holographic image of themselves.  Not a guide.  More like a wife, sometimes following dutifully behind them, sometimes leading.  Sometimes the spirit moves you. Sometimes it seems that you must drag it along like an obstinate child.  Sometimes your spirit is a poet singing sweetly in your ear.  Sometimes it is a banshee crying doom."

Looking for Comity in the Muslim World (and in my own)
