		<description><![CDATA[Thinking about vulnerability. That sense of mortality that always lurks beneath every ache and pain. It is momentarily set aside with each good breath, but returns when the limitations of breathlessness and weariness come sneaking in.
Vulnerability: the reminder that life is fragile in the midst of being amazingly resilient. In this moment, we are able [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An excerpt from my Soul Writing from a few days ago.
Dear God,
Thank you for inviting me into your abundant life. I don&#8217;t always hear the invitation clearly, yet you keep on knocking on my heart&#8217;s door and calling my name. Sometimes I do hear it but I turn away from it. I don&#8217;t know why. [...]]]></description>

The first step in the cycle is that I do something, or something happens to me that is wonderful. Maybe I am blessed with a surprising and special grace from someone. Maybe out of the blue, I have one of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I first started becoming aware of the presence of depression in my life, I would describe it as a void of emotion. At one level, the emptiness felt like a nothingness. I would look inside and would not find feelings or words. Even now as I see signs of burn out and even acedia [...]]]></description>

It was the start of accepting the return of the depression that I have been relatively free from for quite a while. But with the fallout grief of moving almost two years ago, and [...]]]></description>

As I reflected on themes, one idea kept resurfacing: what are we in danger of losing in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been enjoying getting connected on Twitter the last couple days. I started out just using it to keep my facebook status updated, but I found myself wanting to Tweet more than Facebook would allow updates. I also found myself wanting to write things that weren&#8217;t really what Facebook status updates were meant to be. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
A couple months ago, I wrote that little postit note and stuck it up near my desk. It was an expression of frustration and an attempt to get something going in my psyche. Something akin to energy. It has remained as a rally call, trying to muster up some anger energy to not sink into [...]]]></description>

So whence the chaos?
A combination of personal factors have left me arid in thoughts to write about, well sort of. This has [...]]]></description>
