note to multiple selves

please

if you value any of the below, in any degree or form:

a. your ability to calmly approach the world, believing (more or less) in its rational plodding ways
b. your faith in the good words of Stanley Cavell involving saying and meaning—and the seam, with only occasional and explainable gap-wrinkles, knit up between these
c. your voice
d. your financial and health-related well-being
e. any of these as they relate to surrounding others—dear ones and interlocuters alike, of extant or potentially-born varieties

i beg of you (who shall remain nameless) to avoid that organisation whose highly floating ship of insularity continues to do so only insofar as its leaky rifts are corked up with the very souls and lacerated (failures of) servant-hearts of its volunteers—and from which all abstruse and literaro-historically overdrawn nomenclature shall henceforth be stripped away: the Mennonite Central Committee.
