Mike. It is difficult to say how much yr writting means to me. In these times where meaning and moral intent has been so desecrated. The daily assult - I think we all have PTST. (Is there a word for living in the time before the actual PTST event has occured, knowing that it is going to occur - is that Pre TST). Reading u is so nourishing, in a good / bad type of way. Good thoughts to you Mike.
"He was no angel." The modern puritans of the left rightly and categorically rejected this when it was said about Michael Brown by the cynics of the right. And yet...
"Freely you have received; freely give," is the motto of the college I attended for undergrad. It's a motto I've always tried to take to heart.
Thank you for this.

Bravo, sir!
I am a big fan of this message.
"He could be petty in ways that would have been ordinary in a less powerful man and were grotesque in him because of his power."
Well said. I have been blessed to be a less powerful man, who most likely would have been grotesque given the opportunity.
This goes into my stash of things to ead, re-read, and think about.
Compassion for self. Compassion for all others. No excuses
Beautiful peice. The work is the purpose.
are there really still puritans among us, or are they children?
