Intermission

When I look back on what I've posted here over the past year or so, I find as much that I still fervently believe in as that which I now completely reject. Some of the posts in the latter category simply leave me feeling sheepish; others elicit an urge for outright deletion. But to go back in effort to sift wheat from chaff feels dishonest in more ways than one. I really believe the false turns on a journey such as this are indistinguishable from the "correct" path; seeing the proper way is possible only when all the cul-de-sacs are methodically closed off after rigorous exploration and persistent cross-examination.

No short cuts here, not even in retrospect.
