Future, Present, & Past:



Speculative
~~ Giving itself latitude and leisure to take any premise or inquiry to its furthest associative conclusion.
Critical~~ Ready to apply, to itself and its object, the canons of reason, evidence, style, and ethics, up to their limits.
Traditional~~ At home and at large in the ecosystem of practice and memory that radically nourishes the whole person.

The Tao up is the Tao down


(draft of a poem)

Note on Isaiah 52:7

Doubt,
don't doubt --
what about
it? What care you,
or know you,
ma soeur,
regarding this ascent,
this seven-storey mountain?
Lower your eyes: these feet --
"All you need to know" --
later you'll see:
Here you are
all this
time.
