April 2022

Saint Anthony The Great

















Friday April 01, 2022
Is there such a thing 
as the Earth’s lost narrative? 
Who can be trusted  
to tell us what has happened? 
History as victory.

Saturday April 02, 2022
Science is about 
“saving the phenomena,” 
at least this is what 
Bas van Fraassen argues in 
The Scientific Image.  

Sunday April 03, 2022
He was forced to ask 
this most important question: 
What on Earth happened?  
And the answer he received 
is based on ancient sources. 

Monday April 04, 2022
If the Grundlagen 
incident continues to 
influence his life, 
he will do as he has done 
from conception until now. 

Tuesday April 05, 2022
Her Turkish delight
was delightful as ever
after all these years.
You can look, and maybe touch,
but beyond that not too much. 

Wednesday April 06, 2022
Reaching out against 
his own better judgement is 
always so foolish.  
How many times does he get 
to be wrong before he's right?

Thursday April 07, 2022
He wants it to be 
the first of many freely 
given offerings. 
It is a cause that is dear 
to his pedagogic heart.

Friday April 08, 2022
Just how much modern
baggage is preventing him
from dwelling within
the question of the meaning 
of the being of beings? 

Saturday April 09, 2022
We have a Red Book,
just like the Jungians do.
Sometimes it is Blue.
It depends on the country,
as well as on the council. 

Sunday April 10, 2022
From The First Coming
he will daily work his way
back to the future
order of things both sacred
and profane until the end. 

Monday April 11, 2022
It seemed romantic
at first until he found out
about the intrigue
involved among the members
through their honesty and wit.

Tuesday April 12, 2022
He is working out
his own kind of solitude
in fear and trembling.
A son of Saint Anthony,
a dweller in the desert. 

Wednesday April 13, 2022
He really deplores 
talking about anything 
even remotely 
related to his private 
life, liberty, and laughter. 

Thursday April 14, 2022
The tricks of the trade 
evade him these days despite 
the indicators. 
The market makers always 
have the last pip in this play. 

Friday April 15, 2022
Every so often 
a change within his routine 
manifests itself. 
It’s not as if he decides 
whether he will follow it. 

Saturday April 16, 2022
This time of decline 
requires active thinking 
in the grand style, 
especially among the  
apophatic avant-garde. 

Sunday April 17, 2022
He once said to his 
thesis director that his 
“week with Wittgenstein” 
was fine, to which he replied:
“Sounds like a good book title.” 

Monday April 18, 2022
His best intentions 
are behind the continued 
attempt to create 
daily systemizations. 
Better is better than best.  

Tuesday April 19, 2022
Another lesson: 
three hundred and twenty five 
is the amount paid
for dimly trying to be
of the world while still in it.  

Wednesday April 20, 2022
From Platonism 
to Positivism to 
Pragmatism: all 
within the duration of 
his fifty-eight years of life.  

Thursday April 21, 2022
It was delivered, 
but is a much smaller book 
than he expected. 
And yet, in this case less is 
worth considerably more.

Friday April 22, 2022
Ironically, he
was not ready to read him
back in the old days
because secularity
got the very worst of him. 

Saturday April 23, 2022
Having the seven
demons driven out of her
was the beginning 
of her good end: witnessing
the wonder of Weltanschauung.

Sunday April 24, 2022
They are living lives 
shaped by the circumstances 
of a failed union. 
He owned his contribution 
and gained his absolution. 

Monday April 25, 2022
A Secular Age
sets the stage for engaging
with A Common Faith
through the pragmatic rubric
of his private irony. 

Tuesday April 26, 2022
“The Timaeus is 
Plato’s creation story.” 
And so begins Zeyl’s
timely creation story. 
Hackett seldom disappoints.

Wednesday April 27, 2022
Rather than bemoan 
the buying of all the books, 
he remains content 
knowing that this familiar
process produces results. 

Thursday April 28, 2022
His pragmatism 
promises to be the key 
to figuring out 
why one chooses to play one 
language game and not the next. 

Friday April 29, 2022
and then everybody left. 
Eventually 
everybody fell, except 
the one that knows him so well. 

Saturday April 30, 2022
And this suddenly 
compact universe of wine, 
of words, and wisdom 
was made ex nihilo so
beautifully between them.
