Anthony The Great
was a saint and a layman.
He is the father
of hermits and monks alike.
Thank you, Athanasius.
Tuesday November 02, 2021
Asceticism
provides the basis for his
aestheticism.
Less is always more in life
as it is in haute couture.
Wednesday November 03, 2021
"Press any button
to continue" sinking deep
into distraction.
The only game worth playing
contains candles and levels.
Thursday November 04, 2021
His old ambitions
have been prayerfully muted
to the point where he
no longer is interested
in pursuing them further.
Friday November 05, 2021
It was an insult
to have made it there on time
only to be stood
up while waiting in the car
on the side of the highway.
Saturday November 06, 2021
He has had enough
of all the propaganda
poisoning the world.
Even though he’s not of it,
he must still live within it.
Sunday November 07, 2021
The more that he hears
about the corruption in
the institutions
of the world, the less likely
he is to remain in them.
Monday November 08, 2021
Can he lovingly
conceive of sharing his life
with someone again?
He's lived through so much of it.
Miracles are possible.
Tuesday November 09, 2021
So much savagery
textually documented.
It’s a reminder
that the most recent judgement
is simply one of many.
Wednesday November 10, 2021
Twenty twenty two
is the year he will review
what is so new in
the nouvelle théologie,
Rahner most especially.
Thursday November 11, 2021
With his temperament
he is able to survive
within this culture
of virtual suicide
by via negativa.
Friday November 12, 2021
Deciding on three
and then on four makes it more
because it is less.
For him this takes the guess work
out of it entirely.
Saturday November 13, 2021
From the before time,
when people, places, and things
meant something different.
There is no need to look back.
That was then and this is now.
Sunday November 14, 2021
Modern editing
in the revised edition
is a reminder
of just how grammatically
traditional he remains.
Monday November 15, 2021
“...Hermit and Meister...”
is his way of giving thanks
and asking for help
from a saint and a layman.
Working it out never ends.
Tuesday November 16, 2021
That he is so old
comes as a periodic
shock to his system.
It is best to pass the torch
to the youngsters and retreat.
Wednesday November 17, 2021
Lost in these last days
with neither intuition
nor institution
to turn to for instruction.
There is nothing left for him.
Thursday November 18, 2021
His socializing
got the most of him again.
He should know better
than to be a vomiting
dog consuming his sickness.
Friday November 19, 2021
Twenty nine years young,
among the other Lakeview
clientele today.
Sitting, eating, and talking
all of it out together.
Saturday November 20, 2021
Empiricism,
semantics, ontology,
and toleration:
while clever, this will never
be fundamental enough.
Sunday November 21, 2021
From five to fifty:
he knew what he was doing.
In turn, for forty
five years he went from being
done with the raven to Brahms.
Monday November 22, 2021
The mortuary’s
assistant reminded him
of his grandfather’s
old modus operandi.
No need to revisit it.
Tuesday November 23, 2021
He stays far away
from the evil industry
the older he gets.
To remain on the right side
of that history is wise.
Wednesday November 24, 2021
Today of all days
he hears from a dear archetype.
They cannot resist
being drawn to the Sigma.
This is neither here nor there.
Thursday November 25, 2021
He was kind enough
to respond the way he did,
but was cool enough
not to confirm preconceived
personal expectations.
Friday November 26, 2021
He simply cannot
minimize his history
in philosophy.
Being forgetful about
Being will be the result.
Saturday November 27, 2021
Seeing him sit there
without a bell of his own
to ring in response
to those who truly love him.
His two blue eyes are enough.
Sunday November 28, 2021
It has been disclosed:
three hundred and thirty three
is Revelation
(as if he needed yet but
another confirmation).
Monday November 29, 2021
He will never leave
his own clean well-lighted place.
The society
writer is forced to stay put,
so with him he will remain.
Tuesday November 30, 2021
Reiteration:
it's not just Karl Rahner
that is of interest.
He just happens to be the
most obvious example.
