Thanks for turning me on to Berdyaev.

I sense the building, or rather the uncloaking of the true power of which you speak, and welcome it as critical to all life, as necessary and even more ephemeral than the air we require, and of which too many would take for granted in their hurried rush.

Patience to endure!

And mighty blessings.

At the park just now an acquaintance, when I said that I would look at the New Year fireworks said that it would be a shoulder to shoulder Covid spreading event.

(I actually can see the fireworks from outside my place, so I won't be "going", but not for fear of Cov.)

His proudly boosted wife with high up job in Department of Death, unfortunately doesn't look too well.

They are under a power that they permit to control them, and to which they think that I am also.

Berdyaev is a very interesting philosopher from a very interesting time. And before he converted to Russian Orthodoxy (quite different than the dogmatic Orthodoxy) he was a Marxist. His writing on the Russian revolution is what hooked me.
