As far as the sea change, pretty well. The water's fine.
It's a bit solitary, in an odd way. Not necessarily a bad way, though.
I'm going to take a slow read through this thread again. It was a bit overwhelming for a while there, and I'm sure I missed a lot.

And the junkmen
Think you're out of line

Let us know your overall impressions when you're done?

Perhaps, that means excellent sailing toward other seas.

No man's an island, and maybe one of us could come along and help you navigate.

I hope it proves fruitful for you, my friend.
Eucharist [thanksgiving] is the state of the perfect man. Eucharist is the life of paradise. Eucharist is the only full and real response of man to God's creation, redemption, and gift of heaven. - Alexander Schemann
No other agnostics in this sea? Or do you mean no longer feeling God's presence?
I actually look for God's presence all the time. Almost every waking hour. But I've just been floating. And it's mostly been fine.
I really don't know right now how anyone could not be agnostic.

Well. It could. I really just don't know what seas I'm sailing towards.

Yeah. I don't disagree. I don't think any man's an island. I wouldn't want to be. And I'm certainly not telling folks what the right path is... I don't know right now. Floating.

Thank you. So far it has, I think. I don't know where it'll wind up. Not easy.
