On my mind lately: clergyspace
Feb. 13th, 2005 12:00 amWhen I put my headspace into clergy mode, I'm damn near unshockable. If I'm come to as clergy, with confession, or need of ministry, I slip into somewhere above neutral and become somewhat other than myself.
metaphorge posted a quote about the universe from Albert Einstein, and I was moved to speak.
I wound up with a better description of the headspace than I've ever had before: pitiless compassion. Mike would call it "grokking", I think. To understand so well that you cannot help to both hate and love and all the other range of emotions it's possible to feel for another human being.
Pitiless compassion. I like the sound of that.
