It was essentially about cutting the ego link with the American myth in order to meet the future. An essentially upbeat post, though few would see it that way, hence the preaching. Still learning, though. Gotta thread the needle a different way... I'll have more to say about Virginia. Stay tuned, and thanks for writing. Sorry about the preacher.

Google Reader can read MINDS?!? It posted "Visit from Preacher John" to my inbox, but the "original item" link can't find the original item. Maybe it hasn't been written yet!! Great stuff, all of it. I read your blog daily. This reflection on Virginia was the most intelligent thing I've read on the whole sorry, sordid tragedy. At the end of the day, what are we going to remember of our life? All those times mean Mrs Witch next door spied on us thru her curtains? Or all the people we loved, the sunsets we saw, the streams we swam in, the fun we had? I know which <b>I</b> want to remember. And to do that <b>then</b> requires practice <b>now</b>. Thanks for the reminder. Hey, what happened to Preacher John? Google Reader can read MINDS?!?
