“If you want to identify me, ask me not where I live,
or what I like to eat, or how I comb my hair,
but ask me what I am living for, in detail;
ask me what I think is keeping me from living fully for the thing I want to live for.”
I posted this quote last January and think it is timely to post again as we contemplate new hopes in the new year. Onslaught of questions imminently descending--
Would you discuss both of these questions with your friends? Your family? First date? Fifth date? Do you want to be identified by your passions? If not, what descriptors would you prefer? Does it bother you that Merton ends sentences with a preposition? Would you like to give him what for? Are you even still reading this gibberish? If so, are you thinking that watching the man whose voice is the equivalent of dark chocolate bust out an adorable self-parody would have been a better use of your time? For that one, I've got you covered. (Click the green print, Mom.)
