About Me

I go through periods of fascination and then complete ignorance. At the moment I am interested in the theme and meaning of exodus in contemporary society. For instance, suppose you were wandering in the desert, aimlessly. Suppose you did not know the history of your peoples' slavery, nor the promise of milk and honey to come. You just found yourself immersed in a tribe wandering the wilderness. Sure, there are a couple of people who are responsible for the discipline of the tribe, and derive their authority from some place, although your not sure. Why should you listen to these apparently self-anointed authority figures who just lead you around in the desert? Can these wanderings be meaningful without the past or the future? So I suppose I have told you a bit about myself while not really writing about myself. Maybe tomorrow I will have a new fascination and whomever can learn a little bit more about me.Maybe notThese silly things never suprise, just confirm the perception of your own identity
