Day: August 15, 2005

- George Will, the brightest of political enigmas, made a great point on a Sunday morning talk show yesterday (that I happened to be watching). He said that insurgencies like that in Iraq usually take an average of 9 years to quell and they almost always end with amnesty being given to the surviving insurgents. Great. Our men get to die for another seven years and then many of those who have and will have participated in killing them get to become “good citizens” again.
- A cascade of thoughts: The psychic psychoanalyst C.G. Jung once asserted that 4 is the perfect archetypal number. Today’s the (catholic) Feast of the Assumption. Upon this day, Mary, the Un-sinning One is taken undead into Heaven. If that’s not a guarantee of Godhood, I’m missing something. Someone who’s totally pure, never sins, and never dies?! Don’t you see? On this, the Feast, Mary hacks the Trinity and completes the deal. The Divine Pattern is perfected as a quartet. Jung is awesome.
- I’ve worked 24 of the last 29 hours. Sorry, I can’t tell you what I was doing. But I’ve returned now to Dreamland, anyway, to jog and blog and watch the Sun set. Ah, the Sun! It has and will always fascinate me from whence to wither!
