I've been thinking a lot lately about what it means to live life radically; upstream; against the current; counter culturally. I won't tell you want I've been coming up with because I'm, well, still in the coming-up-with stage. But here are two quotes that provide food for thought:
"One must be alive to swim against the stream." (Based on a loose memory of a Chesterton quote. Need I point out that, by extension, the dead always float with the current.)
"Don't make your life into a bad movie version of what it could have been." (Ouch. God forbid that when I die, my life views like an ABC after-school special or, even worse, a CBC comedy... And, I almost forgot, this quote comes from Sister Mary Martha (no, not my sister) who, from my perusal of her blog (see sidebar), seems to be an indomitable little nun with a fabulous sense of humour; and the world needs a heck of a lot more of those.)

I, for one, am looking forward to hearing what you come up with, once your thoughts are beyond the coming-up-with stage.
