I needed this 🙏🏻. It helps to feel like you are Edge of the Inside rather than falling in the gaps or outcast. I advocate for the archnemesis of the establishment...peace...making it very hard to find a place to fit other than on the outside. I will now think of it as Edge of the Inside instead. Very valuable. Thank you for sharing.

I'm really happy to hear that Kelly. It's a good reframe to have and seeing that you are a meaningful part of the greater whole even at the margins (maybe especially so)

This was a good article. I feel if the left could believe in the transcendent, that would renew what is crooked and broken, but I couldn't be the prophet that does that just yet.

Alternatively, the right could take Christianity seriously and take very seriously the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself, and that might also do the trick.
