“It strikes me that the current fetishization of analog technology has less to do with nostalgia than it does with the urge to slow down the transfer of data from the internal to the external, from the individual to the collective, and to make it all less instant, less ephemeral, less interchangeable,...

"Re-adjustment" by C. S. Lewis
I thought there would be a grave beauty, a sunset splendour In being the last of one’s kind: a topmost moment as one watched The huge wave curving over Atlantis, the shrouded barge Turning away with wounded Arthur, or Ilium burning. Now I see that, all along, I was assuming a posterity Of gentle hearts: someone, however distant in the depths of time, Who could pick up our signal, who...

Grant me, O Lord, to know what I ought to know,to love what I ought to love, to praise what delights Thee most, to value what is precious in Thy sight, to hate what is offensive to Thee.

“For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.”
– Hebrews 3:4

somewhere, on an unnamed dirt road, a place most people would consider “the middle of nowhere”, you will find a her with a group of squealing little girls and boys, dancing, if you would be polite enough to call it that. maybe to avicii, justin beiber, lupe fiasco, or even a little gospel. (they…

these small hands
these small hands so disproportionate prove me weak and un-ornate
yet, when empowered, these small hands, these tiny hands they activate and they restore, they captivate and so make more
more of You and more of Your love more of You and less of me more of wisdom and more of the above more of You and less of me

such things do...
