Bryce @statcrux.bsky.social · 08/10/2026I grew up in one. We just didn’t talk about or think about the many holy people who’ve reported encountering God in mystical union. You’d think this would be one of the key data points buttressing faith 150

Bryce @statcrux.bsky.social · 01/10/2026If you ask Google AI, it will say they never camped together (except in some metaphorical sense??) but that’s because Google AI can’t read this document digitalexhibits.library.washu.edu/s/joy-willia...digitalexhibits.library.washu.edu“CONNECTICUT’S WOMENS HALL OF FAME” · Joy Williams: Honored Guest · Digital Exhibits 000

Bryce @statcrux.bsky.social · 16/09/2026It’s true, you don’t sense her ego intruding at all. She is delighting both in the world and in language and wants the reader to do the same 110
Bryce @statcrux.bsky.social · 16/09/2026What do we ever know that is higher than that power which, from time to time, seizes our lives, and reveals us startlingly to ourselves as creatures set down here bewildered?
