The Father

... laughs and gives birth to the Son. The Son laughs back at the Father and gives birth to the Spirit. The whole Trinity laughs and gives birth to us. --Meister Eckhart


My Lord told me a joke. And seeing Him laugh has done more for me than any scripture I will ever read. --Eckhart

  3. “Our bodily food
    is changed into us,
    but our spiritual food
    changes us into itself.”

  4. the last minute of my 1/2 hour drive
    over the 8 cursed speed-humps
    from town to ranch i cried...
    thinking of my older sister having to choose the coffin for our Dad
    i was 12 when he died

  7. Kids gave me a pair of Guinness flip-flops with a bottle opener built into the strap.

    No more frustration at beer o'clock.

    How cool is that?

I cannot talk about anything without talking about everything. --Chesterton

Fundamentally there are only three miracles: existence, life, intelligence; with intelligence, the curve springing from God closes on itself like a ring that in reality has never been parted from the Infinite. --Schuon

The quest, thus, has no external 'object,' but is reality itself becoming luminous for its movement from the ineffable, through the Cosmos, to the ineffable. --Voegelin

A serious and good philosophical work could be written consisting entirely of jokes. --Wittgenstein
