am i free

we are free to acknowledge life
as it transpires before our
powers of perception
and to decide
that there is often very little
or nothing
that "i" must do
to control or adjust anything
in life
including my own life

this awareness may be
the only true human freedom
that
and thinking freely

blessing

every human act
placed into the context
of blessing

apocatastasis

                            the ultimate reconciliation of good and evil 



angels and devils waltzing in the night

epistemological testing

perhaps the greatest test of knowing
is to recognize ones utter solitude
and have the recourse to endure it

the new categorical imperative

the effort to organize society
based on human categories
deriving from psychological or
sociological rhetoric
is a humanist/postivist agenda
which results in the diminishment
of the person
and undermines any discussion
of sane morality

what photographs are to reality
