I have tried to write this post for months. I have numerous versions that start at different points that I hoped I could bring together into something masterfully cohesive. It has all been so overwhelming. I couldn’t pull it together. At this point, all I can do is throw together some thoughts and observations in no particular order or cohesive construction. I will also remind you that this site is full of posts that are related to the topics that follow. I designed my archive page so you can actually tell what an article is about, not just see a list of dates.
