Dismiss the Nonsense

Pope John Paul II left explicit instructions in his will that his personal notes be burned (a request that was ignored by the way).  While unsure of his reasoning I often share the same sentiments when reading over previous journal entries. 

“What was I thinking?”  “I don’t quite see things that exact way any longer.”  “Will this become obsolete soon?”  “That statement was immature and arrogant.”  These disturbing questions and comments go off like fireworks in my head.

On the other hand, something therapeutic and insightful happens by entering into the creativity of writing.  As long, that is, as it doesn’t become a relentless slave driver to produce the next post.

So with that in mind please be quick to dismiss any and all nonsense found within these random writings.  I will, after all, probably come around to doing the same thing in the near future.
