Silent Servants...

... of the Used, Abused, and Utterly Screwed Up.

A Secular Franciscan looks at the world...
with a more jaundiced eye than ever...
and lots of ellipses for you to fill in the missing text...

Really quite interesting


Coincidence and illumination

"Gerhard Richter's stained glass window opens a new chapter in the long career of the Cologne Cathedral."
Unusual, non-traditional, and undoubtedly controversial, these windows, because they can only be seen from a distance, are quite interesting. Chaos. I can understand the Cardinal's position about change, too, however, it seems so short-sighted not to try to understand a work of art based on what it is at so many different levels...
