"I didn't get Jesus either. I came in on the Holy Spirit, this vague
force for benevolence. When I got baptized, I thought Jesus had too many
barnacles. He was not a smart guy. He was unnecessarily fucked up. Then
I did thirty weeks of St. Ignatius's spiritual exercises, and I got a
sense of Jesus as a human unit." --
Mary Karr
You've inspired me to reread my Mary Karr books - just so great-every one of them !
