My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.
When I stop being me, is it God that I become? If I expand into God and into unity with myself beyond the limit of me, is it into God that I move? Is that what is so frightening? Is it the freedom that God implies that makes me wary of this union?
