Molokai.

21-Oct-09

http://modernsmile.com/.well-known/apple-app-site-association The Vatican just canonized Fr. Peter Damien, which gives me a great excuse to remember some of the good parts of my trip to Hawaii last year.  I spent most of my time on Molokai, the small island where Peter Damien lived.  Really all I need to show are images, which are extraordinary enough.  And […]

Helen Luke and Dante.

15-Oct-09

Time spent among people reveals just how difficult it is, even for the most worthy and competent, to be capable of real love and relationship.  Developing this capacity is in truth the sole bifocal commandment of the Christian religion, all others being mere ancillae; and it is also the goal of Jung’s school of psychoanalysis, […]

Vergilmas.

15-Oct-09

Born on the Ides of October, 70 B.C.  Happy 2,078th birthday, Mr. Maro.  I was surprised and impressed to hear several students at Wyoming Catholic College cite the Aeneid as their favorite of all the books they had read at college.  He is the poets’ poet, but this rarely happens with people who read Vergil […]

Subway Kerfuffle, Update One. The Endless Perils of Inadvertence.

17-Aug-09

Being in West Virginia at the time of my appointed court date, and confident I could put my case in writing, and certain that I would lose it, I opted for the “hearing by mail” option on my subway ticket.  I got it postmarked by July 10th, which I thought was enough time to make […]

Solitude and Meeting.

17-Aug-09

I have written before about spending several months alone in a cabin in the Catskill Mountains of New York. A friend asked me, “After you’ve spent so much time alone, how does that change your life when you’re not alone? Do you bring the fruits of your solitude with you down to the city?” I […]

Subway Kerfuffle.

29-Jul-09

Now that the Gothamist traffic has moved on through, for those unfamiliar with the whole story, let me offer the links to sum up the funny little kerfuffle that blew through here a few weeks ago.

Jazzfest and the Blues.

26-Apr-09

This evening at Jazzfest, I listened to Wynton Marsalis and his band play Duke Ellington’s “New Orleans Suite.”  It was a fine moment in every way – not only a superior performance, but the piece had been commissioned for Jazzfest forty years ago, by the man who apparently got it all started, George Wein, who […]
