Another Episcopalian Socialist in Chicago. I see crowds of people, walking round in a ring.

Cardinal Cupich: “For Chrysostom, the altar inside the church and the ‘altar’ of the marginalized person on the street were two aspects of the exact same reality. To bow before the consecrated Host while being indifferent to the stranger is a fundamental breakdown of eucharistic logic.”

The New Jon Hassell album "Music Is Invisible" is out today. I spent a lot of time listening to it over recent weeks and wrote ~2,000 words about it which will be published on Monday in @thetonearm.com. I especially love the last track "Electric Forest," which you can hear below.

Roughly half of Generation X believed in never-ending progress and prosperity. The other side saw what was coming. Pretty easy to differentiate between these factions.

RIP 847 years ago Hildegarde von Bingen, abbess, mystic, theologian, musical composer, astronomer, pharmacist and doctor, and among many other things inventor/discoverer of the sacred language “Lingua ignota”, who died #onthisday in 1179 CE. (Pictured, her conception of the world as a "cosmic egg")

Vegeta Vampires botfrens.com/collections/69/content…
"Vegeta Vampires" by Remedios Varo showcases three ethereal, anthropomorphic figures seated around a small table, each donning otherworldly, feathered garments. The enigmatic scene, framed in a mysterious and surreal ambiance, reflects Varo’s characteristic exploration of mysticism and the fantastical in her surrealist works.

I did not know his story, either, and the depiction of who he was long before his final moments just shattered me. It costs nothing to be compassionate and I wish it felt more ample in these times
He had been rehearsing for that lobby his whole life. When Cardinal John O’Connor barred the gay Catholic group Dignity from archdiocesan churches in 1986, Judge welcomed its AIDS ministry into St. Francis of Assisi on West 31st Street, a Franciscan church outside the cardinal’s control, and he later ran the parish’s own AIDS program.

Patients with the disease were treated as lepers in those years, and he sat at their bedsides when many others would not. One dying man asked him, “Do you think God hates me?” Judge picked him up and kissed him, then rocked him in his arms without saying a word.

You can't explain it, but sometimes you feel summoned by places. They call you to walk them. It's almost as if that act of walking makes you part of their story and they want that. You can call me mad, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this. – Bec Bowker, 1982 #VOH
