i have been thinking about this post for the past couple days, and woke up composing a response/reflection. this happens often with your thoughtful posts, but i usually am ready to respond so long after your post that i feel silly about doing so, and instead try to generate conversations with people about the topic in face to face conversation -- i generated a strange conversation about hell during knitting circle the other day.
thank you for encouraging my thinking. it's one of the things i truly value about our friendship -- even when your questions and reflections aren't at all directed towards me, i feel encouraged to thoughtfullness.
"you do not have to be good..."
and the rest of this comment just started getting so long, i turned it into a post.
