An Augustinian moment.

Maybe time for some Woody Guthrie

O, let my land be a land where Liberty
Is crowned with no false patriotic wreath,
But opportunity is real, and life is free,
Equality is in the air we breathe.

Have you read Stringfellow on Revelation?

The Padres, right? Nick Kouletsis told me of your paper on the collects. I’d be interested in the paper you mention.

What I texted to some friends (whom you know)
“Once again, I suspect NPR will be surprised they didn’t elect an Episcopalian and Fox is surprised they didn’t elect Milton Friedman.”

Just despicable and disgraceful. The US government is now indistinguishable from the mafia.

Beware of calls for "peace and cooperation" that sacrifice the poor and oppressed on the altar of unity.

I had the opportunity to get to know him 30+ years ago when he ran the Harambe center in Pasadena. He is a saint.

On Super Bowl Sunday, here's a reminder of what real courage looks like.

This is our former Prior New Camaldoli in Big Sur, where I am an oblate. Wonderful interview with a humble soul.

As an Episcopalian, we would call Mariann Budde “Bishop” not “Female Bishop.” Fix your style guide

Seeing so much uninformed blame on Forest policy blamed for Eaton Fire. Ignorant. Read McPhee’s essay Los Angeles Against the Mountains to get a far better perspective

Elegant woman seated with a book in her lap gazing at the viewer.

Formerly enslaved, Anna Julia Cooper earned an MA in math in 1887 & a PhD. Educator, leader, democracy activist, her 1892 book championed women's rights. “The cause of freedom is not the cause of a race or a sect, a party or a class - it is the cause of human kind, the very birthright of humanity.”

Then Jesus said unto the sick, “you better have insurance.”

Then Jesus said unto the stranger, “are you here legally?”

Then Jesus said unto the hungry, “my taxes better not be paying for these loaves and fishes.”

Wanted to start Bluesky with my grands. Peace.
