the ballad of another slight banality






You nobody call here it's about 2:00 PM.

I suppose LP apples or something --
call the new student and and
we may be able to get him a call
I will work today also
some better books --
this them so they have a group release on Monday's
hopefully we should have a room but -- yeah
would if you could just call college frozen
call me back -- I will see cargo
for this most promising at least
but just keep in touch.

Bye.








///from a voice-recognition translation

a dominican metaphysical stand-off with a jesuit

“Father Teilhard’s vision [of order and beauty in the cosmos] seems to have all the qualities of the old myth of the eternal return, in which history is really incidental and novelty is, at bottom, only apparent. In his cosmic order, even Christ the Lord of history finds His “place” at the center, and the contradiction of the Cross is quite logical and expected. In that world, there is no terror, no trickery, no trouble…. The God of the strange world of Father Teilhard is not the one I have come to believe in. His is the God of the neat; mine is the God of the messy. His God governs with unerring efficiency; mine provides with inexcusable waste. His God is impeccably regular; mine is irresponsible. His God is the Lord of order; my God is the Lord of the Absurd.”

o what lily sweet surrender

Kateri said:




"I am not my own;
I have given myself to Jesus.
He must be my only love.
The state of helpless poverty
that may befall me
 if I do not marry
does not frighten me.
All I need is a little food
and a few pieces of clothing.
With the work of my hands
I shall always earn what is necessary
 and what is left over
I'll give to my relatives
and to the poor.
 If I should become sick
and unable to work,
 then I shall be like the Lord on the cross.
He will have mercy on me and help me,
 I am sure."

so we know there is still perfectly rational thinking happening in america

The American idle fancy that poverty is their idol, and that if they can fix it with government funds, then they will become the idol of all the idle, and garner their votes. They aren't far wrong.  The exact opposite is the case, however, about what Jesus is saying. Jesus is saying that the poor can go to Hell.  He doesn't want their votes. He just wants his disciples to love him entirely, which Mary Magdalene or whoever she is, has now shown that she has done.

What the Romans are about to do to his feet has nothing to do with acupuncture, and Jesus needs a touch of TLC, like everyone else.
