In one of Anne Lamott's more recent books Plan B, she shares her personal struggles with adopting a more kind, spiritual attitude toward those who oppose our belief systems or those we don't like or, to quote, those who are "acting butt-ugly."

ReplyDeleteThere was recently a news item about these buggers finding a way around captchas, so when I first clicked on your rough-hewn original post, I thought you might be a bot or a phisher. (I saved your comment just in case you weren't:-)) I see your site's been polished up some! I love your writing, you're very good at it. Keep it up!
