How Little Importance
Friday, May 17, 1996
It is done. The letters have been delivered.
It is amazing to me and somewhat comforting to discover how little people actually care that I have resigned my ministry.
There is a tremendous freedom from obligation, which I have usually imagined, to follow one’s heart and no excuse to do otherwise. To say my life is my own is for me both joyous and empty. I have laboured under the impression that what I have done has mattered. However, time and again over the last few years, I have discovered the relative truth of that statement. No more ‘shoulds,’ just life. Just life.
I have had an idea. Why not combine antler and bronze in a sculpture? Or perhaps other materials, like marble?
