"This is one of a few books by Latina authors given to me by a fellow writer/lover for Christmas a couple years ago.
So far, it's interesting in that the book takes a deep and immediate dive into the boundaries--or lack thereof--between food, the body, sex, and the mind and the Latin American understanding of them, which is somewhat alien to me." — Apr 03, 2017 02:59PM

"During the time I'm taking away from the monastery for reflection/discernment, I'm reading the Psalms and other poetical books of the Bible. The first six Psalms seem to have a theme of "fear the Lord," which is slightly dispiriting." — Jul 18, 2016 06:24PM

"In what feels like another life, I was a philosophy student at Berkeley. I've been meaning to read these books for several years due to both the basic mission of the work and the fact that one of my former professors edited it.
And I am disappointed in myself that I put it off so long. The preface by Parfit is fucking hilarious. It makes me wish his fellowship at Oxford required him to teach." — Jan 23, 2018 12:45AM

“All items listed above belong in the world
In which all things are continuous,
And are parts of the original dream which
I am now trying to discover the logic of. This
Is the process whereby pain of the past in its pastness
May be converted into the future tense
Of joy.
I Am Dreaming of a White Christmas: The Natural History of a Vision (1974)”

“What art Thou then, my God? What, but the Lord God? For who is Lord but the Lord?or who is God save our God? Most highest, most good, most potent, most omnipotent; most merciful, yet most just; most hidden, yet most present; most beautiful, yet most strong; stable, yet incomprehensible; unchangeable, yet all-changing; never new, never old; all-renewing, and bringing age upon the proud and they know it not; ever working, ever at rest; still gathering, yet lacking nothing; supporting, filling, and overspreading; creating, nourishing, and maturing; seeking, yet having all things. Thou lovest, without passion; art jealous, without anxiety; repentest, yet grievest not; art angry, yet serene; changest Thy works, Thy purpose unchanged; receivest again what Thou findest, yet didst never lose; never in need, yet rejoicing in gains; never covetous, yet exacting usury. Thous receivest over and above, that Thou may owe; and who hath ought that is not Thine? Thou payest debts, owing nothing; remittest debts, losing nothing. And what have I now said, my God, my life, my holy joy? or what saith any man when he speaks of Thee? Yet woe to he who speaketh not, since mute are even the most eloquent.”

“I know I had it - I could feel it, the way you feel blood in your veins - and now I reach for it and reach for it, and it isn't there.”

“And several other times in my life, when I was swimming far out, or lying alone on a beach, I have had the same experience, became the sun, the hot sand, green seaweed anchored to a rock, swaying in the tide. Like a saint's vision of beatitude. Like the veil of things as they seem drawn back by an unseen hand. For a second you see, and seeing the secret, you are the secret. For a second there is meaning! Then the hand lets the veil fall and you are alone, lost in the fog again, and you stumble on towards nowhere for no good reason.”

“Tis a Fearful Thing
‘Tis a fearful thing
to love what death can touch.
A fearful thing
to love, to hope, to dream, to be –
to be,
And oh, to lose.
A thing for fools, this,
And a holy thing,
a holy thing
to love.
For your life has lived in me,
your laugh once lifted me,
your word was gift to me.
To remember this brings painful joy.
‘Tis a human thing, love,
a holy thing, to love
what death has touched.”
