Looking into the Future ~

The old monk said: Keep going. Let the path find you.

Election Update ~

Looking back, it is amazing how so many intelligent, thinking Americans let themselves be deceived by this President.  

Election Update ~

Mr. President -- you sow discord and hate. May there be an end to it.

Election Update ~

 And now, slowly, the long process of deflation has begun. 

When the Downfall is Imminent ~

When Hitler saw that he was defeated, he expected his nation to go down with him.

Where We Stand ~

It takes a long time and much patience before we can free ourselves from a state of confusion.

Sanitization ~

It takes a killer virus to uncover all the lies and injustice.

Notes of a Young Seminarian ~ 1947

                                    Notre Dame, Indiana     Mark Cashore

I felt comfortable

near pendulums of time

wheezing in clocks,

counting strokes

from the steeple

across the lake,

and would lie there thinking

how tidy days

could pass on wings

through quiet rooms

of scheduled order.

A Change of Mind ~

We have learned what Social Distancing is. Now we should learn to apply it to God. We have to  learn to pull back, give Him room, show Him respect and reverence. There is a danger in being up too close.

Death Toll ~ Covid

100,000 dead. Where are the consoling words, the words that unify the nation?

Reversal ~

We are able to change:
We have learned that keeping our distance from other people helps to save the world.

Notes of a Young Seminarian ~ 1947

They taught us to walk

with our heads down

so as to keep our thoughts

fixed on You,

which we duly practiced;

not because of the rule,

but solely because 

we wanted You.

A Dying Nation ~

Where is the Commander-in-Chief ?

Covid-19 ~

What a humiliation for those who think they are so powerful.

Easter Sunday ~ 2,000 deaths

Our soothsayers -- how are they reformulating now?

Covid-19 ~

It is quiet in quarantine, but I can hear the birds chirping.

Our Own Fault ~

Many of us make our own idols-- and then, adoringly, bend the knee before them.

Wielding Power ~

Can the Coronavirus be tweeted away?

After Impeachment Failed~

Congratulations America!

Now we have a Dictator. 

His First Impeachment Trial ~

They told us, all 52 of them, that they had refused to consider the facts, and without further ado, proudly acquitted him. 

Casting a spell ~

The majority of Germans fell victim to Adolf Hitler's strong magic spell.

Abrupt Ending ~

On the town square this morning I watched them wrap a chain around the stem of the massive Christmas tree and hitch it to the back of a tractor. They then dragged it away, down along the main street. People stopped along the sidewalks and watched it passing by.
