Maybe getting somewhere.
In realizing yesterday’s crushing sense of unanything, I remembered a particular bit of scripture that always buoys me.
Briefly, I am becoming who I am (I think). Still have loneliness, guilt, whatever; but those are not ends as much as means.
I meant to write something about a refinery here, but after boiling away the words I think it was all to say this: masks within masks. Devastation within fight face within resignation within a pious observance of passing. You are within layers of reality, I promise.

I’ve recently discovered who and what I am. Now what remains is working towards who I ought to be. Not a complete overhaul, more like the proverbial refining process that scripture talks about. Keep the essence of the person, but eliminate impurities.
