Why aren’t we spiritual ancestors of St. Patrick more like St. Patrick? Unlike him,
- we are often stuck on a treadmill of trying harder at things that aren’t working.
- we keep looking for answers to questions that no longer need to be answered.
- we get stuck in endless either/or arguments when the dichotomies were false to begin with
- we undermine the leaders we so desperately need to help us off our treadmill and out of our arguing
We need the kind of nerve Patrick had.
