***** nd. Today a notion has taken me captive, a notion I have not considered centrally for many years. I do not know from whence the idea descended upon me. The idea is that our central work in returning sanity to earth is the spirit that we embody and the spread. That that spirit must be one of loving. It is so long since I have had such a thought I do not know what I will find when I examined my behavior of recent months and its light. But I intend to do so. Of course I will examine the idea itself, as well. But it strikes me as extremely correct. The spirit of our age is frenetic, frantic, inebriated consumption to the point of extinction of all life. I'm wondering if I have ever appreciated the benefits, and maybe the existential necessity, of a deliberately slower life.
