Sunday September 01, 2024
Years ago he asked
“What is the divine darkness?”
while reading the book.
After spending forty years
in the desert, he answers.
Monday September 02, 2024
The mysteries lie
in the brilliant darkness of
a hidden silence.
This truth remains a lie for
the uninitiated.
Tuesday September 03, 2024
Praise the transcending
one in a transcending way
by denying all.
This includes the very thing
that is the cause of the praise.
Wednesday September 04, 2024
The looks that shook him
point out that the silent word
mutes the written words.
Interesting: the Dumb Ox
became dumb as a result.
Thursday September 05, 2024
“That the supreme cause
of perceptible things is
not perceptible.”
This is what he says when forced
to gesticulate with words.
Friday September 06, 2024
There is no speaking
of it, nor naming of it,
nor knowledge of it.
It is beyond assertion,
and is beyond denial.
Saturday September 07, 2024
The smoke and mirrors
of romantic nostalgia
got the best of him.
That said, it is still deeply
moving to be moved so deep.
Sunday September 08, 2024
When he says it would
be good for him, he really
is crying for help.
He was not meant to carry
that weight for such a long time.
Monday September 09, 2024
His retirement
was advertised as early
for the sake of time.
It was also part of his
surly exit strategy.
Tuesday September 10, 2024
The text is open
for everyone to read it
in the OED.
Digitizing the English
language is worth supporting.
Wednesday September 11, 2024
If he knew that he
had to localize labels,
he would have left it.
The gig is turning into
too much for way too little.
Thursday September 12, 2024
He found out he is
still in consideration
for what is Open.
Text has always been his bread,
his butter, and his balance.
Friday September 13, 2024
Mystic scripture is
the fundamentalistic
grammar of the faith.
Using it leads one beyond
the unknowing and the light.
Saturday September 14, 2024
At least he can stay
until one month before the
beginning of May.
Maybe this may be the start
of the end of fatherhood.
Sunday September 15, 2024
Pious foundations,
even those made orally,
are reduced to words.
Such writings are preserved in
the archives of the authors.
Monday September 16, 2024
Once he wrote the words
“providence is evidence”
he had to use them.
Five and seven syllable
lines are what he requires.
Tuesday September 17, 2024
All he cares about
are Trinitarian and
Marian moments.
They constitute his very
own summa of the Summa.
Wednesday September 18, 2024
The celestial
hierarchical structure
is ineffable.
So much so that it permits
his recapitulations.
Thursday September 19, 2024
He would rather gift
his own than make timely loan
payments to a bank.
They have all the funds they need
to last billions of lifetimes.
Friday September 20, 2024
All is quiet on
the Eastern front, and this is
best for his being.
The showing of their Eastern
front is not for his seeing.
Saturday September 21, 2024
Every memory
comes from the bottom of his
replicated heart.
The blade is sharp, and it runs
deeper than ever before.
Sunday September 22, 2024
Generational
replacement humiliates
the meek and mild.
It takes grace to see this as
an earthly inheritance.
Monday September 23, 2024
It would be unfair
to impose his form of life
on someone else now.
What was once a bold ideal
has now become the new real.
Tuesday September 24, 2024
It took fifty-five
minutes from start to finish
to diminish him.
It is no longer him who
lives through all the mysteries.
Wednesday September 25, 2024
Impostor syndrome
rears its own fraudulent head
every so often.
He responds by regarding
the self as an illusion.
Thursday September 26, 2024
Innocuous dreams
have a way of reminding
him to remain true.
He must refrain from acting
on false counterfactuals.
Friday September 27, 2024
After he threw in
the transcendental towel,
many became one.
Once transfiguration took
place, he got a piece of peace.
Saturday September 28, 2024
After many years
the Catena Aurea
replaces the rest.
The reason why this is so
remains one of his secrets.
Sunday September 29, 2024
“Hey, I know that guy”
was written after years of
disordered silence.
What was written back is a
variation on a theme.
Monday September 30, 2024
His thoughts and his prayers
are for the one who lives and
loves in the shire.
It has a noble spire
marking his retirement.
