On the threshold of the sacred & the secular

Religion cannot be separated from life, either in theory or in daily reality.
Furrow
Josemaria Escriva

Faith is necessary for wisdom

In our struggle for freedom ....

In our struggle for freedom, truth is the only weapon we possess

Winter morning

In densely populated urban areas of NYC one can always find a view of expansive vistas in the early morning hours, on the roof tops of the the south bronx. The sharp details of urban decay and neglected infrastructures are much less distracting. Where the heaven's and the city converge on the horizon, one's soul bound in all it's limitation of finiteness can recognize for a moment the infiniteness in ourselves that we share with the universe.

With reverence I pay homage to my Native American brothers, born here centuries ago in a more civilized time, when the recognition of our connectedness with the universe was plainly known.
