Blogito ergo sum! Actually, as N.T. Wright averred, "'Amor, ergo sum:' I am loved, therefore I am." Among other things, I am a Roman Catholic deacon. This is a public cyberspace in which I seek to foster Christian discipleship in the late modern milieu in the diakonia of koinonia and in the recognition that "the Eucharist is the only place of resistance to annihilation of the human subject."

"Well, you build it up, you wreck it down. . ."
I enjoy Tom Waits more than I can say. His album Mule Variations is stunning, at least for a post-punk, non-disco, non-rock n'roller, non-hippie person such as me. This song gives an indication of the depth of Waits. Waits has made three previous appearances on this blog: with Bono reciting Bukowski; Well it's got to be a Choc-O-late Mary post; and in the very deep (sounding) post entitled Theological/Philosophical Soundings.
So, this constitutes the Friday, Καθολικός διάκονος, traditio.

Very nice. If I had a nice glass of wine it would be just perfect. Too settled in for a trip to the liquor store though. In these parts, that can be an ordeal.
ReplyDeleteGuess I'll just have another listen.
Have a good Friday evening!
