Wilderness & Exile
Topically enough, I have exile-related work to do today, so it’s highly unlikely I’ll be able to post anything. Maybe Friday, too. But this timely piece from Steven Pressfield says a lot of good things about exile that hit so close to home it’s like a bunker-buster lodging itself in the potato salad. In lieu of my own grasping for a point today, I thought I’d share it.
