Mean, nasty, brutal society
Freud 2: A look at Chapters 1 and 2. Freud states that human nature is inherently destructive, andti-social, and anti-cultural. This puts us at odds with having a harmonius civilization. Instinct is controlled by coercion. We’re lazy and have passions … Continue reading
USC Topoi Widget
I just saw this discussed on the Chronicle of Higher Education’s “Wired Campus“. It looks neat. Perhaps it may be of some use for Gators working on their blog posts. I’m not assigning any “papers”, per se. Anyway, I thought … Continue reading

But not for me
Another week spent at the convent. A student asked me today if my convent gig was in preparation for entering! My dear heavens no! I can’t exactly say, “been there, done that”, but…years ago (about 25), when I was a … Continue reading
The great silence
Shortly after dinner, the sisters end the day by going to the chapel for the last joint prayer of their day, the Office of Compline. The community then keeps the “great silence” until after Morning Prayer the Eucharist the next … Continue reading
Just two for compline
Everyone else was away so it was just me and Sr. A for Compline. I can handle the BCP as well as anyone, but the Sisters have their own prayer book. I’ve been meaning to spend some time to get … Continue reading
