I want to introduce you to Steve. He’s 83. His wife died a few months ago and he comes to this lodge in Spring Mill, Indiana and draws. He taught art in Terre Haute, IN his whole life. He also did courtroom sketches in court cases. In the comments I’ll share some pics from his sketchbook. He was excited when I said I was going to share his sketches with the world.
He who prays with desire sings in his heart even though his tongue be silent, but if he prays without desire, he is dumb before God even though his voice sounds in the ears of men.
-St. Augustine
On the genius of Lev Landau:
A Soviet physicist who helped shape modern theoretical physics, from quantum theory to superfluid helium.
He won the 1962 Nobel Prize and created the brutal “Theoretical Minimum”, an exam series covering almost all of theoretical physics.
Only around 43 people ever passed.
“We are lonely people, and we try to enrich our poverty-stricken minds with a great deal of knowledge, information and facts. The mind is not capable of deep inquiry if it is filled with knowledge.”
— Krishnamurti
The Holy Eucharist is the Sacrament of Love. It signifies love, it produces love. The Eucharist is the consummation of the whole spiritual life…St. Thomas Aquinas.
"La gran diferencia entre la gente, no está entre ricos y pobres o entre buenos y malos, sino entre los que supieron amar intensamente y los que jam��s lo lograron porque no conocieron el amor".
Tennessee Williams
Jesus Christ is everything that you can and should wish for. Long for him, seek for him, because he is that unique and precious pearl for which you should be ready to sell everything you possess.
-St. Chrysostom
