More or less. I can&#8217;t see myself writing anything new in it for the time being, so I&#8217;m going to make it clear to anyone who [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Prayer
You ask me how to pray to someone who is not.
All I know is that prayer constructs a velvet bridge
And walking it we are aloft, as on a springboard,
Above landscapes the color of ripe gold
Transformed by a magic stopping of the sun.
That bridge leads to the shore of Reversal
Where everything is just the opposite [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t have much to say right at the moment, but I really wanted to post a segment that aired on The Current [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hi, all! You still reading? Is this thing on?
Well, I&#8217;ve dropped off the face of the religiosphere for a number of reasons, the foremost of which being that I&#8217;ve kind of taken a break from thinking about religion. Since I stopped going to church, it&#8217;s been significantly easier to do that. Right now my perspective [...]]]></description>

SORRY!

The quiz kind of annoyed me, not so much because it was too easy but because the answers were easy to deduce via a process of elimination. Being a nerd like I [...]]]></description>

I went to church on Christmas Eve morning (it always seems like such a good idea. Then once the service starts I find myself in deep regret) [...]]]></description>

I was in the washroom and I walked in on a woman, who was wearing hijab, with her stockinged foot propped up awkwardly against the sink. She kind of [...]]]></description>

I enjoyed myself at the annual house party I attended, though not as much as previous years &#8217;cause we got a massive snowfall the day before that kept some people away from the party.
