Day 42: The Church

Dear everyone, I have been struggling with what it is that I should write for today. Due to unique and unforeseen circumstances I choose to address only General Conference. I was able to catch most of it. That said, I have been disheartened somewhat by the backlash, inevitable as it is, that I have seen after it was over.

It makes me want to retreat to the mountains so I can be alone.

I have written quite a lot about it all, actually. It is a part of the reason I haven't posted anything yet. The mental energy spent writing about Conference and things pertaining to it allowed little to be written otherwise, though, as I said, unique circumstances obliged me to focus solely on it altogether. I have been revising, and rewriting it, but still am not satisfied with what I'd like it to say. It will remain un-posted for the time being.

For the moment, I will only say, to praise simplicity and for the sake of those worried, that the Church is true. I say that only in the spirit of great humility and deep contemplation, though. Qualities of which I question in any detractors.

You guys should stop worrying about me by the way. If you don't know by now that melancholy surges through my bones, than I think you odd. Because surely, it's apparent by now. And to be even more sure, I have lived and evolved in this manner long before any of you have been aware of it to the extent that you surely are aware of it now. And I am still here--with the intention of going nowhere--with the intention of going everywhere.

Goodnight.
