Connect the dots ... |
I've always thought my life develops like one of those pages in a kids
coloring book. Where you connect the dots and a picture appears.
dot to dot.
I'm becoming .... something?
Yesterday some Christians came to my home. I don't know how they found
me.
Maybe it's a sign.
They were friendly, caring and kind.
I listened enthusiastically, maybe a little too much.
In fact I think I scared them off.
I connected another dot yesterday.
I'm now a evangelical-atheist.

Good for you. Keep it up and we'll make a humanist out of you yet.

it's hard to see the changes in ourselves when they happen
slowly, rather than through trauma or obvious 'turning
points', like you seem to have had yesterday. it does happen,
though. like i haven't been hospitalized in over a year now.
it used to be about a monthly thing; i'd get out and go right
back in. i haven't seen the changes in myself, but going
through old posts through google, they're definitely there.
there's a series of books entitled 'the world's greatest dot-
to-dot book' books 1-4. i do them when i'm not up to much
else. the puzzles are varied, with some letters, some numbers,
some where you connect alternate numbers (first 2,4,6... then
1,3,5...) they go up to around 200 dots, so they keep me busy
for a good long while. i love to watch the pictures slowly
develop, not knowing the final image until nearly complete.
like life, i guess. we need to be done, or nearly so, to see
the final greater picture.
