Bull; When He is Silent. January 19th, 2015 Posted in The Sermons. Every baptism in the Orthodox Church entails an exorcism, as I learned last Easter when I was baptized into the Church. It was nothing desperate and dramatic like some of us remember from. In truth the devil and his minions flee from Christ and the Cross, having been sundered by both. Delivered, yet enframed by these diseased bones. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, urged the saint who surely knew that working grace int...

Laquo; A Darkness That May Be Felt. Bull; Letters to camp. Legos in the Deep. May 1st, 2015 Posted in Faith and Life. So I wrote something about some of that, kind of sideways because you know that’s my specialty. It ended up being two parts, for which I apologize or accept praise, depending on your inclination. Here’s a bit from the first:. Christ is risen from the dead, we sing, trampling down death by death, and upon those in the tombs bestowing life. And here’s a snippet from the second:. Last reply ...

Inklings: "Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours"
http://sesquipadalianmusings.blogspot.com/2012/01/un-bon-croquis-vaut-mieux-quun-long.html
Human kind Cannot bear very much reality." - T.S. Eliot. 09 January, 2012. Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu'un long discours". Nothing like using the French version of a clichéd adage to hide the fact that you're using a clichéd adage. Plus it's possible that Napoleon originated it. Which would be neat, but hardly possible to ascertain, given the multiplicity of origin stories for this one-time aphorism. The Arts in General. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Inklings: February 2012
http://sesquipadalianmusings.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Human kind Cannot bear very much reality." - T.S. Eliot. 09 February, 2012. Salomé, Wilde, and Freud. That is more or less the heart of the drama of the play. Salomé is eventually driven to such a frenzy at John's refusal that she shoots Narraboth, killing him, before she returns to the banquet just before the intermezzo. Things are kind of going pretty badly. Or the conflict between eros and thanatos (Greek plays, obviously) have been present in art and philosophy throughout history, and were so much at...

Inklings: Reading, Part I: Literature
http://sesquipadalianmusings.blogspot.com/2012/05/reading-part-i-literature.html
Human kind Cannot bear very much reality." - T.S. Eliot. 24 April, 2012. Reading, Part I: Literature. However, it's beyond refreshing to be getting back into (English language) literature mode of late.

Fortunately, I did bring one American novel, Saul Bellow's The Victim,. Has been Kate Chopin's Awakening. The Arts in General. Just having read Herzog, I commen...

Inklings: Contraception, Vatican II, and a few comments on Classic Capitalism
http://sesquipadalianmusings.blogspot.com/2011/12/contraception-vatican-ii-and-few.html
Human kind Cannot bear very much reality." - T.S. Eliot. 10 December, 2011. Contraception, Vatican II, and a few comments on Classic Capitalism. I spent a while the other day grousing to my boyfriend about this rather awful article. By a self-proclaimed "Catholic." He referred me to an excellent rebuttal. Of Townsend's position (it predates her article, obviously) in the First Things. Then again, why not just head over to the local Universalist church if you believe that? As an allegory for Vatican II...

Inklings: Ron Paul and National Security
http://sesquipadalianmusings.blogspot.com/2012/01/ron-paul-and-national-security.html
Human kind Cannot bear very much reality." - T.S. Eliot. 06 January, 2012. Ron Paul and National Security. Yes, yes, I'm quoting Ron Paul, but please don't assume I'm a mindless follower. I'm still reading carefully, sifting through actual quotes and actual voting records instead of reading heavily biased things like, uh, this. Which uses the whole familiar yet enticing "cite facts but only some of them" method of argument (which explains why this. Of the things he says, right? Tomes, Treatises and Novels.
