Reentry
Have I disguised myself from myself? And for what purpose? To bury deep the self that hurts myself so deeply? Is it possible to forget the self? Is their freedom in forgetting? In disguise? How long can the disguised self go until it can no longer unmask itself? Which is stronger, the hurt of eternal disguise or the hurt of reentry deferred? Is it better to seek the sacred impossibility or the mundane necessity?
Not everyone can see what K saw or do what F did. Can I?

Must you choose between the two? Is not our position in Christ the transcendence for which we long (Ephesians 1:3-14)? And is not the earthy spirituality of David and the other psalmists the God-filled immanence which defines a live of raw passion and life-as-a-cup overflowing with a good wife, a few good friends, good food, and (albeit at times limited) opportunities to do genuine good–occasionally not even the right hand knowing with the left is doing? (Notice that the only likable character in LITC is the priest who listens to Radio Theater).
