A Mission from God



On my saying, What have I to
do with the sacredness of
traditions, if I live wholly from
 within? my friend suggested, —

"But these impulses may be
from below, not from above."

I replied, "They do not seem to
me to be such; but if I am the
Devil's child, I will live then
from the Devil."

 An irate fellow-Facebook booker
 booking it the other day accused:

“what?  You think you got a calling,
    mission from god to be a  
            provocateur? “

(aka BB Wolf, satan, diabolicist,
deconstructionist, elenchist,
trouble-maker,  foment flaunt
& flouter, nihilist, sonovabitch
bastard, clown, jester, trickster,
fool rushing in …)

For sure.  

Definitely a calling and mission
Vocation. To deny would be a
crime against the  whole.  
To cover up: impossible.

Accusing
Challenging
Questioning
Tweaking
Taunting
Twisting
Tempting
Testing
Deconstructing
Unpacking
Mocking
Ridiculing
Putting it in Play in Peoria
Running it up the Flag Pole
Thinking Critical Thoughts
Thinking Critically
Critical thinking

What I do. 
Sustainable  Academics as
opposed  to Status Quotation.
Mission from God, no doubt.
So help me.
