Checking in

I feel to apologize to anyone who has ever experienced the doorstep scene of dating with me. Don’t worry—it was at least twice as awkward for me. At no time is my height driven home to me more forcibly than at that particular moment, which has often been the reason I dread the end of a date! Anyway, one can imagine that I’m very reserved. A handshake would be a sign of respect, not that the absence of one is a sign of disrespect. Dates are subject to such a wide variety of unpredictable circumstance.

Lately I’ve been trying to describe to myself how I feel about efforts to focus. It goes something like this: I have no past but that which enriches and instructs, no present but sorrowing for the sins of the world and the acts to which this moves me, and no future but the duty to which my heart longs to be faithful.

This was truly terse, no?
