my highest ambition is to be what I already am (merton)

I am coming to the conclusion that my highest ambition is to be what I already am. That I will never fulfill my obligation to surpass myself unless I first accept myself, and if I accept myself fully in the right way, I will already have surpassed myself. ~ Thomas Merton

I often publish authors whose articles I appreciate but I may not always agree with all that is said. My pieces, also, cannot stand alone. Pieces of my work contain ideas that may sometimes seem to contradict other pieces because all cannot be said in a short essay on any given subject. It's wise to not make assumptions based on a few pieces of writing. My attitudes have also not remained stagnant over time and the archives reflect the passage of time. The same holds true for my blogroll. I by no means agree with everything all the authors share. Some article may contain links to other resources on the Internet.
