When you are accustomed to anything,
you are estranged from it.

The man behind the curtain
- Damien
- I like words, images, graphic design, well-turned phrases, doodling, humor and profundity. These are found in every quarter and I'm always on the hunt. I was rescued (in November, 1974) from guilt and a stubborn irrational belief in an impersonal chance universe (with the accompanying hopelessness). I'm now convinced that nothing is more obvious or worthy of our attention than our Creator and the one true ancient path. Only Jesus has the words of everlasting life. Like John Newton "I once was lost but now am found, was blind but now I see."

whoa. a whole new understanding of the word 'accustomed' i now have. insightful! gives me a bit of a stronger taste for the title of jhumpa lahiri's new book- 'unaccustomed earth.' i loved the book but found the title vague and too pretenscious with metaphor. but i love how you've defined this word 'accustom.'
