Those words, ‘work and pray’ were the motto of Taunton school, wher I spent the 1969-70 school year. They speak to the 2 essays I’ve been trying to write for weeks now, one about work, the other about faith. It seems like everytime I’m ready to begin, there’s a new development: the NY Times Science supplement had a long article on Science and faith last Tuesday: previously Time magazine had the topic on the cover, as did Wired.
This week I intend to be disciplined: I’ll write about work on the train up to UCSF, and write about faith on the way back. It’s unusual to write two essays at once, and it probably seems like folly not to concentrate on one. The themes are not totally unrelated (nor closely related, either) but this feels like the right way to go about this. I reserve the right to retrench should that become desirable…Â
