(thoughts)

"Before the beautiful-no, not really before but within the beautiful-the whole person quivers. He not only 'finds' the beautiful moving; rather, he experiences himself as being moved and possessed by it."
- Hans Urs von Balthasar

"Everywhere I go, I'm asked if I think the universities stifle writers. My opinion is that they don't stifle enough of them. There's many a best seller that could have been prevented by a good teacher."
- Flannery o'Connor

"Christians are called to leave behind, in the tomb of Jesus Christ, all that belongs to the brokenness and incompleteness of the present world. It is time, in the power of the Spirit, to take up our proper role, our fully human role, as agents, heralds, stewards of the new day that is dawning."
- NT Wright

"When we think our brother or sister has sinned against us, such an affront is not just against us but against the whole community. A community established as peaceful cannot afford to let us relish our sense of being wronged without exposing that wrong in the hopes of reconciliation."
- Stan Hauerwas

"Advertising treats all products with the reverence and the seriousness due to sacraments."
- Thomas Merton

"All the believers were of one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possesions was their own, but they shared everything that they had."
- Acts of the Apostles

"For evil men account those things alone evil which do not make men evil; neither do they blush to praise good things, and yet to remain evil among the good things they praise. It grieves them more to own a bad house than a bad life, as if it were man's greatest good to have everything good but himself."
- St. Augustine

Zzzzzz...



I bought a bed. I have been wanting to do that for sometime now, but I have only recently succeeded in completing my self-determined task. It isn't a bed with a mattress or a bedpost or anything of that sort. It is only a sleeping pad. I think I will appreciate my sleep much more if I am closer to the ground, rather than elevated above it.

That is all.

Hey, you have your silly sacraments, I have my sleep.

I'm in sweet rapturous delight now, and you will be later.

So, we aren't all that different.

Asshole.

I don't like beds too much, either. The floor feels a lot better to me, so whenever I'm super tired and I really feel like sleeping long and well, I sleep on the floor. Derek doesn't like it too much though. It hurts his back. lol

Em, you Music-Lover: Shut up. Kyle is NEVER right. He's an Anglican, for Henry VIII's sake!

Markie: Sounds like a forthcoming marital issue. I will gladly be your counselor. I think I may have to move in for a week to asses the situation, then maybe we can all go get Ice-Cream! :P

Salongo: Yes, the leotard is for the camera only. I am usually in the nude.

I think the leotard suits you.

It is rather fitting, if I do say so myself...
