Jess,

Boy oh boy do we need another coffee date soon. I’ve been thinking a lot about this whole second-guessing myself thing, especially in the context of HDS and my internship. I would love to pick your brain some … !!!

Mike,
Thanks for your comment–I think that powerful list of adjectives that you offer is precisely what I mean by “loud.”

Thank you for the beautiful passage recommendation in 1 King. I was just looking over the readings for this Sunday, and the first reading caught my eye too:

“For Zion’s sake I will not be silent,
for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,
until her vindication shines forth like the dawn
and her victory like a burning torch.” (Is. 62:1)

I wish it were a little easier to “keep talking” sometimes….I wonder how much of being strong depends on being “loud.” Hopefully, honesty, dedication, courage, curiosity and integrity play a role too. (Otherwise I think I am in trouble since I have a job where lots of people yell at me during the week ).

Someone once referred me to 1 Kings 19 11-13…..I’m not sure if “I have a dream” “Mr Gorbichev tear down this wall” or “Yes we can” would have been as effective, though, if they were delivered with “a gentile whisper.”

Anyway, nice job on the website. You always post really interesting thoughts.
