\n\n\nOrthodoxy is first for the body not the intellect…Stay focused on the Encounter, not the theology. Stay focused on the Presence not the history. There’s nothing wrong with study, but don’t rush there too quickly.
\n
\n\nFeeling ecstatic and groovy is one thing, but there has to be more going on than that. There has to be discipline. There has to be a praxis you return to that is not dependent on being spiritually high to undergo it.

Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Liturgies of the Wild is a thrilling counsel of resistance and delight in the face of many modern monsters.

\nFinished reading: Little Brother by Cory Doctorow đź“š
\nAlthough I first discovered @pluralistic@mamot.fr through his more recent novels (and the Fediverse), I can understand why so many people consider this book, one of his best. I absolutely loved it —truly great storytelling.
