Discussion Groups / ESL Teaching / March 2006

 What matters after all is never how saved or whole one is, but the
extent to which one restores to others, through presence and passion, a
sense of possibility and independence.  As for myself, what I prize
among my comrades these days has nothing to do with enlightenment or
heightened consciousness.  It is instead a fierceness, an animal
tenacity, a sense one sometimes gets from others of a complex, evolving
person, of a rare and lusty insistence on a complex, honest and solitary
privacy that protects life in the flesh against abstractions, ideals and
even salvation  itself.  The most difficult task of all is to steer
between exhaustion and illusion, between resignation and escape into
dogma.
  Those who try it will find a kind of grimness and weariness, a kind
of loneliness.  But if they are lucky, they will also get a glimpse here
and there of light and depth, an occasional sense of freedom and
potency, a few good comrades to hold in their thoughts and arms.
