100 Posts in the Clouds

This marks my 100th post to the cmashing blog. In its infancy, which dates back to January 2004, blogging was cutting edge. Historically speaking, while I knew I would journal, research, and record my musings in diaries that would come and go; I had little belief that this form of communication would continue for another five years. Surely I would maintain my observations in little notebooks and even blast my opinions in op-ed pieces whenever possible; but here I am reflecting on this journey in the clouds. And so, to record this milestone, it is appropriate to share the words of the gentle, humble and extraordinary man, Father Arrupe.

“Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in a love in a quite absolute, final way.

What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the mornings, what you will do with your evenings, how you spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.

Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”
