Detachment Can Seem Like Such a Good Idea...

...It seems a good strategy for insulating ourselves from the pains of the world. But unless we're willing to experience rejection, we can never experience acceptance, love, or the blessings of community and family. Read the ever-wonderful Richard Lawrence Cohen's fictional vignette.

Thanks for the link and the praise, Mark, and for the link to your posts on dealing with rejection. Writers and other artists deal with continual rejection in their careers in addition to all the normal rejections that are part of life. Your counsels of forgiveness and responsibility make timeless good sense.
