I enjoyed this! Mary Oliver’s poems as spiritual exercises, as namings of what is most real, most valuable, as ways of surviving and coping with trauma, as devotions for loving attention to the natural world. youtu.be/hCyw9F4t7QQ?...

Reflecting on some wisdom from this book on *cura apostolica*: It’s not about you, it’s about the mission. It’s not about you, it’s about the people. It’s not about you, it’s about participating in the Triune God’s loving redemption of human history.

From Eric Voegelin’s “Why philosophize? To recapture reality!” (1973): “The motivations of my work, which culminates in a philosophy of history, are simple. They arise from the political situation… More than once in history, language has been degraded and corrupted to such a degree…

Because social science requires a foundation of meanings in culture and belief it involves an ongoing dialectic of the what alongside a refineable praxis of the how; in other words, it requires a metaphysics and an epistemology.

The What: Consciousness of Christ’s consciousness is the governing soteriological experience of order in Christian tradition; this is a partaking of Christ’s redemption pro nobis consummated in our own returning good for evil in love.

So basically I try to paint a picture of a reality with a bunch of moving parts. Stuff can definitely go wrong, but it’s helpful to know that the going wrong will occur within a complexity, probably right next to success, and you’ve got to have some standard other than pastness to judge by.

Carthusians commit to an anonymous and hidden life of holiness. They almost never seek canonization for members of their nearly millennia old order. *Non sanctos patefacere sed multos santos facere.* “To make many saints, not to publicize them.”

I read Wittgenstein’s *On Certainty* 25 years ago and still have my old copy all marked up and worn. I haven’t read it since. It’s a breakthrough memory of thinking as doing, as problem-solving, while simultaneously a monitoring and refining of provisional solutions toward truth that stays with me.
