when we think of anger

A calm sea is a delightful sight,
but there is nothing more delightful than a peaceful soul.


Dolphins swim in a calm sea,
but thoughts worthy of God swim in a soul at peace.

     -Evagrius of Pontus

now
if i could only get there
often i feel adrift
or is it
the sense that all men have in the world a sort of ethereal but real drifting
almost like it's not really happeneing

there'sa latin word for it

homo ludens
no that's man at play
playful man
no this is something like
homo avia
flight man
no
anyway it will come to me

i'm amazed at what anger can do in the world

and in lives

evagrius pray for us
