Something for Sunday Morning

"Everything depends on [the] state of recollectedness. No effort to obtain it is ever wasted. And even if the whole duration of our prayer should be applied to this end only, the time thus used would have been well employed. For recollectedness itself is prayer." Romano Guardini, from

The Weekend Eudemon

Nice evening and early morning. I was able to get to bed by 9:00 last night and get up early today. It's a good thing, too. I have two writing deadlines looming, and I need to get jumping. I'm writing on gossip and on sports.

All Saints Eudemon

All Saints Day is here. Rejoice! There's hope for all of us. Sainthood isn't just for those canonized. The Francises, Theresas, and other show-offs. Today, we celebrate all those saints we don't know about: everyone in heaven that isn't canonized. Go

The Tuesday Eudemon

My first issue of Rolling Stone [http://www.rollingstone.com/] arrived yesterday. Yup, I'm now a subscriber to the gray haired hippie rag. I received a subscription when I signed up as a member of the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame [http://rockhall.com/home/default.asp]
