We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

be it resolved

I've never been one much for new year resolutions. I find I spend enough time worrying about my imperfections that I don't have to sit down and catalog them into a fix-it list. However, in the interest of appeasing family and friends that have noted a paucity of posts on this blog, I publicly resolve to post, like, once a week.

Now, to keep up such a frenetic pace, I'll have to supplement my "something interesting happened" posts because, let's face it, interesting things don't happen every week. So I'll have to start commenting on news and politics, and to be perfectly honest, many of the people who read this blog will disagree with, if not be offended by, my commentary. Yet what's really going on with me is much less about the fact that I watched this movie or ate that food than it is about what I feel about the education and reproduction and ethics and faith. So when I piss you off, remember that it's what you asked for.
