A Talk With George
When my college minister would lend me books, he'd always add a Calvin & Hobbes compilation to the pile. That may be the most personally appropriate spiritual direction I've ever received.All I know about George Plimpton is what's written here. And I only looked him up because this song by Jonathan Coulton (titled "A Talk with George") caught my attention.
To the seven deadly sins I would add an eighth: 'being morose.' I bought a guitar last weekend and I'm taking a self-imposed break from my ongoing existential crisis to learn how to play it.
It's a good thing we have forever to enjoy God, because apparently I need a lot of practice.

Perhaps God gave you a little help by flooding you out of your morose state. Has the dove come back with a leafy twig yet?

Having struggled to master the guitar for 52 years, I can only say that it is a worthy quest, and the instrument is surpassed in its servitude to the inner man only by perhaps man's best friend, his dog. Either will get you there.
