ex cathedra: Quotidian pleasures

Quotidian pleasures

This is the southern view I wake up to each morning. Not a great shot. The blue of the sky against the evergreens is much clearer and deeper, the details of the trees and plants are very visible, and the sunlight bouncing off the wall (my kitchen) is not so glaring.

And apparently the window needs to be cleaned...

But it's a daily pleasure I am grateful for.

Anonymous said...: The placement of windows in my future house is so far off my radar right now, seeing as I don't even have a place of my own, but I think that I want the kitchen to have windows facing east, and maybe the bedroom facing west. It could be reversed, though. I would like a fire pit in the yard, though. That is a must. Possibly a nice ranch home or bungalow in Texas. Depends on where the natural gas/oil company I'll likely be working for will assign me. Interesting, what people want in their homes says about them.

Toward Our Future

What the sons of Europa need is a new religion: one that is as tribal, portable and survivalist as Judaism, as masculine, terrestrial and tough as Islam and as intellectually and aesthetically creative as Christianity...with a dose of the unflinching realism of the ancestral ways of the Greeks and Romans, Germans and Celts and Slavs..And for the larger Indo-European frame, something of the Indian capacity to combine an ultimate and philosophical realization of The One with a robustly mytho-poetic religion on-the-ground. Oh, and some of the psychological acumen of Buddhism.

Liberalism's Basic Flaw

Liberals believe that the chief role of the State is to force everyone to be equal, (ie, take vengeance on the successful). So when they are confronted with any group that they deem less well off than themselves, they are morally disarmed, completely and utterly. Any group that can achieve Victim Status is on their way to power and the (White) liberal's only job is to give them what they want, no matter how much that damages him. And nothing may ever be expected, much less demanded, of them in return. It's a recipe for suicide: no other outcome is possible.
