Be cause . . .

Sunday, January 12, 2025. It’s Sol’s day … and the mailbox here in Ridgway is snow filled, as are the skies. At 5 degrees, all is still.

Inner wisdom is persistent, but quiet. Always whispering, but never stops knocking at your door. — Vironika Tugaleva (also known as Vironika Wilde)

Today is the the 161st birth anniversary of the East Indian visionary Swami Vivekananda

In 1949, the novelist Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood)  was born on this day in Kyoto, Japan.

And the author of Call of the Wild, Jack London, was born in 1876 San Francisco, California.

The Sunday Sermon

After Newtonian physics emerged, most people thought efficient causes were the only way that things could happen, such as strong arms causing a rock to be dislodged from a field, but the kind of cause that especially intrigued me was the exemplary cause. With that kind of causality, someone or some event, just by being what it is, by being an example or model, “causes” other things to happen as a result. — Fr. Richard Rohr, “Meditation,” Center for Action and Mediation.
