Meaning, I’m not embarrassed to say I have a calling to be a writer, even if, on one level, I ought to be. Or rather, am expected to be. People today can’t stand a romantic notion, whenever it is ascribed to the intellect. They want everything in that arena to be reasonable and explicable, without a trace of mysticism in it. And they don’t want to see anything spiritual intrude upon the secular, which they have been conditioned to regard as inviolable.
