I am going to try an experiment in language. And honesty. And new technology.
For all of this Easter season I will dictate to Siri and publish my dictations. Siri is the voice
recognition program on my new iPhone. I named my blog Confessions of a Cooperator. I meant it to be a record of a life lived
within the paradoxes of Catholicism. I would like to try that once
again. For this
Easter season I will live up to the name of this blog. I will confess to Siri.
It is 6:51 AM on Divine Mercy Sunday. The light of morning cracks
through my window blinds. I hear birds twittering. My back hurts and I
have a headache. Dictating to Siri already has a salutary effect.
Usually I am torn between my duty to pray and my desire for mindless
consumption of experience. But dictating to Siri is already a mindful
activity. So let me pray.
Full disclosure, Lord. I am tongue-tied this morning. I love you, I
praise you, I thank you for the blessings of my life. I go now to speak
to you in silence. Siri, over and out.
