Day 096c: An intimate Irony … (July 19, 2019)
I think someone forgot to give these dogs the memo … 🙂
“Individualistic material progress and the desire to gain prestige by ‘coming out on top’ have taken over from the sense of fellowship, compassion, and community. These days people live more or less on their own in a small house, jealously guarding their goods while planning to acquire more, many with a notice on their front gate that says, ‘Beware of the Dog.’” ~ via Jean Vanier
“When the Stranger arrives and asks: “What is the meaning of this city? Do you huddle close together because you love each other?” What will you answer him? Will you offer up instead a dry-toned,“We all dwell together to make money from each other” or “We gather here for safety”? Oh my dearest soul, be prepared for the coming of that Stranger. Be prepared for him who knows how to ask such questions, and be prepared to answer him rightly!”~ inspired by T.S. Eliot
