I think I have grown up too much. Blogging has reminded me of a book my friend Amber, recommended to me years ago: My Name is Asher Lev by Chaim Potok.  It is a very compelling book. It is a call to express what is within you even though it may cost you everything, especially the comfort of fitting into your culture. I think it is really difficult to express what is within me, but just as difficult to trust that what is in me is worth expressing.
