(my friend, Mark Ryman, just posted this on his blog (http://t.co/TnMWARnt.) i don't think i have ever heard a better wake-up call in my whole life):
G. K. Chesterton once answered a London Times query that was put to a number of authors: “What’s wrong with the world?” Replies of a variety of lengths were offered but none so brief or profound as Chesterton’s:
His answer was simply,
“I am.”
