Lacking Wisdom
I made a New Year’s Resolution to describe myself as gnostic more often and a weirdo less often. But I can’t seem to convince anyone that I have experienced eternal truth. That is a very hard sell. On the other hand most people agree without much thought that I am a weirdo. If any of…
