But I’m also aware of the human yearning to commune with a ‘Moreness’ to life. I respect the human hunch that points to the idea that there’s more to life than what’s figure-outable. Even if we can’t believe the Santa Claus God, I think a lot of us long for a Relational Personalness that lives both inside and outside of the human individual.

Don’t ever let anyone shut you down with admonitions to think happy thoughts. Sometimes you need to speak up. You need to voice your discontent. There’s a way to do that without hissing or spewing venom. Just don’t do it at a self-help retreat.
