Blogging from a Heavenly Ham in Monongalia County, West Virginia. I’m glad places are starting to have wireless. Makes me and the iBook happy.
Things with M are more clear; clear in a negative direction for me, a positive direction for her. Mostly the issue seems to be that it’s very difficult to foster the kind of relationship I want while I’m far away, especially since she has been so very wounded in intimate relationships in the past. I’ll leave it to you to tease out all the irony here. God, apparently, as an author has a wonderful sense of tragic irony. Wonderful, Lord. I’d rather be in love than a conflicted Danish prince, thank you.
I am struggling to keep focused on the present moment, instead of being anxious about the future or ashamed of the past. The underlying issue continues to be trusting God to be good. As you can imagine, this does little to foster love for God. So, I guess that means I’m a sinner just like you. Big surprise.

Forgive the interjection in what is otherwise a serious post, but wireless at a Heavenly Ham? I imagine there will eventually be wireless in gas station parking lots. What a world we live in.

Pete, I did find wireless at a Flying J Travel Center truck stop. However, I would have had to pay for it, and I didn’t feel like fiddling with it at the time. I was sitting in front of one of their gas pumps at the time.

Oh my goodness. As Rexella Van Impe would say, “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse must be ready to ride!”

Hi Basil,
I came across an old blog of yours. It turns out that Googing the combination “Victoria Suketu” comes up with your blog! Anyway, that April 2004 blog led me to a 2002 blog where you talk about non-Euclidean geometry perhaps being useful. I wanted to tell you, it is the BASIS of Einstein’s General Relativity!
I read your current blog. I send you good wishes for your desire to be in the present. A spiritual teacher of mine was fond of saying at retreats: “The past is but a memory, the future is the unknown. Now is the present”.
Best,
Suketu

Suketu, thank you. Focusing on the present has helped keep me from drowning in dread or despair right now. That imperative, which I have heard from many sources, was brought to my memory by Father David as I visited with him after leaving Indianapolis.
