					<description><![CDATA[For most of us, our days seem never to be our own. Family demands, work responsibilities, daily obligations and routines of every kind, greedily devour our every minute, constantly ransack our very strength. Silence, contemplation, and true mental rest have become foreign abstractions. Isolation and alienation seem no longer to be clandestine intruders, but rather [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[By the time I had reached Chapter 12 (“Sins of Omission”) of Elizabeth Scalia’s latest book, Little Sins Mean A Lot, I had compiled quite an impressive mental list of all the little things (yes, “sins“) that are already killing me softly. Sure enough, I began to realize that there are days when I’m so busy engaging in office politics – [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Responsibility. Respectability. Maturity. Dignity. These are all good things. These are all expected things. These are all adult things. From the moment of birth, those of us of a certain age – rightfully – were taught not only to make our way in the world, but also to accept responsibility. To claim the mantle of adulthood.

					<description><![CDATA[We tend, often, to imagine ourselves as fragile. As not much more than a bead of air, floating aimlessly, perhaps without purpose. Submitting ourselves to whatever fresh current next sweeps us along. Expecting, inevitably, that snag, that tear, that deluge, that pop. Then, taking note of our damage, we shrink, we burrow, we hide, we surrender. [&#8230;]]]></description>

Especially here, in America, where we have been forced, all too many times, to take up arms to preserve, protect, and defend them. We have witnessed, and we have forcefully rejected, the brutal, soul-crushing destructiveness of the world’s most duplicitous “isms” – communism, fascism, and totalitarianism.
