THE HERETIC

A kind of loneliness comes from being misunderstood by your family. My mother wants me to do Sandhya Vandanam. Chant the Gayatri Mantra. Face east. Fold my hands the right way. She wants a performance she can witness and take credit for. I understand this. I refuse to comply. I am too tired and too old for rebellion.

A quotation from Emerson

Whoso would be a man, must be a nonconformist. He who would gather immortal palms must not be hindered by the name of goodness, but must explore if it be goodness. Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind.

Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-1882) American essayist, lecturer, poet
Essay (1841), “Self-Reliance,” Essays: First Series, No. 2

Tomorrow will be the end of my first full participation in #orthodox great lent fast. It has been eventful, hard, long, and intense all that the same time. I can't express how deep #orthodoxy is. I am so glad to be a part of it.

Today is our Orthodox Easter. This must, of course, be celebrated at the Easter service at 11 p.m.
Christ is risen

Heute ist bei uns Rumänen Ostern. Das muss beim Ostergottesdienst um 23 Uhr natürlich gefeiert werden.
-Christus ist auferstanden

@MichaelEMann "Why are there almost no #Republican #scientists? It’s not a mystery. #GOP #political #orthodoxy includes positions that are at odds with the #scientific #consensus on multiple #issues, ranging from the validity of the #theory of #evolution, to the reality of #climatechange, to the efficacy & #safety of #vaccines. In each case the scientific consensus is solidly grounded in #evidence."
