“Have compassion for everyone you meet, even when they don’t want it. What seems conceit, bad manners, or cynicism is always a sign of things no ears have heard, no eyes have seen. You do not know what wars are going on down there where the spirit meets the bone.”
- Miller Williams

Fear-driven questions:

I can walk down streets
in new cities or be in a stadium waiting for the concert to begin
and I see your face
and I feel
I know you and you and you and you

Do I know you?
I must — we are One, after all.
I know I know you.

I’m taking a digital hiatus for a few weeks. No: publishing online, tweets, facebook, instagram, Pinterest. And everyone else at Team D will have a “juicing + sprucing” auto-responder on. We’re not going on vacation. We’re swabbing the decks and polishing our telescopes. And hanging new twinkly lights for you. Why is this newsworthy? It isn’t, it’s just a very big deal to me — the me who uses pixels and links to minister and monetize. Why am I telling you this? Well it’s not because I think anyone is pacing for my articles and Facebook messages. (Part of me is still amazed that in the din of internet noise and the lushness of life, anyone anywhere pauses to read my stuff.)
