When you can assume that your audience holds
the same beliefs as you do, you can relax a little
and use more normal means of talking to it; when
you have to assume that it does not, then you have
to make your vision apparent by shock—to the hard
of hearing you shout, and for the almost-blind, you
draw large and startling figures. - Flannery O'Connor
(Thanks to a former student dying young.so to speak.)
,
I reduce faith to my belief systems, and dreams I
I rationalize to waking-life, make doctrine and dogma
out of them: aims, goals and measurable outcomes.
Darkness I study with my Lucid Schemes Flashlight.
My pacifist pedagogy for the oppressed might be the
only one in the world that invites Anarchy and, as a
consequence, Chaos: room in the Inn for both.
Is this capitulation or courage?
Largess or madness?
I could justify my love but you’d have to be receptive
to get it. No truck with Anarchy? Chaos?
Illogicality and Irrationality?
Forget about it.
