Archiving Mortality

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #429: Archiving: whether via a photograph, a video, a digital page – these attempts at immortality stretch reality – from augmented to virtual, to distorted to alternate, a look at the eternal yearnings of the soul. Naming your kid “Resurrection”? Sounds crazy? As crazy as driving a Karmann Ghia? Here’s some end-of-summer thoughts on life, immortality and living for the day. Also, human life-forms without the soul, cf. buildings without communities.

Happy Produce

Next Step #428: On the St. Mary “Asdvadzadzin” factor, grapes and the call to production. Loss for words and finding them in metaphor. Flash back: Jack LaLanne’s tips from the 60’s to today, still an element of happiness to be found. A chance to swap-out with the Mother, and tolerance at the foot of the Cross. And much more.

Love: A challenge to excellence

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #427: The passing of Blake Krikorian: From silence to learning the lesson of life and love. Olympic Gold – from the knob to the button, technology for split-second judgement of the “also-ran.”  St. Mary Asdvadzadzin, bearing Love in the face of a missing God. The tradition of grapeblessing – giving it all, to others and therefore God… the challenge of excellence. Changes at In His Shoes and the ministry.

Unplanned Silence

/0 Comments/in

Next Step #426: Failed test for the Church: planned silence in Armenia. A look at the virtues of silence: “Be still and know that I am God” writes the psalmist. “Unity in Essentials, Liberty in the secondary items and in all things, Love” from Augustine to Shnorhali and today, applying the formula. A commentary that leaves us wondering how to reconcile all the pieces.
