I came, today, looking for a sentence I remembered writing.  I have not found it.  I don&#8217;t know if I wrote it, after all, or if that is simply a dream I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I sometimes feel like a muttering idiot.  I cannot much tell the difference between what I am saying, doing, and what is typically called madness.  There are days the difficulty is so big I can&#8217;t even form the questions. What does Kansas City have to do with pilgrimage, I mean.  This is a ridiculous thing, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Generation: because the act of writing about my alcoholism turns out to be the act of writing about my father&#8217;s alcoholism, and recovery from my addiction is actually a recovery from his. They say that.  That alcoholism is a family disease.  Give or take genetic tendencies, we are who we are because we are what [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Looking back, I think I&#8217;d begun the process of the fourth step from the first few days.  Like my life was all contained in a one big box, and I took it in my hands, flipped it over so everything fell on the floor, and said here&#8217;s nothing.  What dust is kicked up.  What shattering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I surprise myself with these invocations.  Help me, crow.  Bring me home, guitar.  Or Carry me, Christopher.  People say Help me, Jesus and I&#8217;ve never understood.  I&#8217;ve scowled.  Or I&#8217;ve craned my neck around, wondering what it is they expect to see, out of which corner of the ceiling Jesus is going to descend or [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It is easy to forget that every aspect of our spiritual or moral life is enacted on the body.  The story of recovery, the story of our lives, is both spiritual and physical.  If we want to find what matters, what our rights and wrongs are, we do best to start in the body.  It&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My sister stands at the counter, chopping carrots.  The light comes from a window behind me, blinding me to much more than her form and the denseness of her body in the looser air around her, the sound of the knife on the cutting board.  Her daughter runs around her legs, out of the kitchen [...]]]></description>
