I'm a little late with today's Friday traditio, the posting of which is the last remnant of the original title of this blog (i.e., Scott Dodge for Nobody), but c'est la vie, n'est pas?
As my diligent readers know, Fridays here at Καθολικός διάκονος are penitential in tone. Today's traditio is from what is likely to be REM's last studio album, the much underrated Collapse Into Now, which is an amazing album. What I mean by amazing is that is an album worthy of putting on your head phones, sitting and listening to.
Anyway, the particular song for today, the one struck a chord in me driving to work (and home) is "Walk It Back"- that I have loved since the album was released.
Time reversing me why/erasing me vice/and tried to start again
You, don't you turn this around/I have not touch the ground in/I don't know how long
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."
