The Holy Contour of Life


My Laptop...

“Be in love with your life” along with “Believe in the holy contour of life” were tidbits of advice Jack Kerouac had for young writers. I sit with others and this experience steeps me in the “holy contours” of someone else’s life. My demands mellow as I see that most of what I so sorely needed is already met, or they don’t really matter all that much anyway. The conditions for a life I can love are already set for the most part. Most of my demands are those of a beggar at a feast complaining about a side dish. The main-course is compassion and there is enough compassion between us to fill all our needs.
