		<description><![CDATA[The last ten-plus years have constituted a mental struggle leading at last to my departure from Christian Science.  I was a fourth-generation Scientist, class taught, served as reader (1st &#38; 2nd), board member, Sunday School teacher and superintendent. Presently, I&#8217;m not finding the words to express my CS experience very well.  Everything has just started [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Morning. Thoughts about life; about music. I make coffee and pour a cup. Max, the Chowderhead, is fed and lying at my feet. I pick up staff paper, blank – and pencil, loaded.
