Today, a new chapter in "Hurricane River" under the same name in the website. It is "Henry," after "The Law."
Briefly: Reading Delio's book, "The Unbearable Wholeness of Being," I got to the beginning of the meat of her work and her favorite theologian, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin - which is, that evolution is the key to the world, to the mind of God. We have spoken of this before and we will follow Delio as she further expounds, but the other night it struck me: what is this world? It is not the world of accidental cause, that is for sure. It is rather a pageantry too vast to ever hold, but we have been led to its contemplation, and in that is our evolution. As Chardin explains, it is that which is our destiny, to become aware of creation; that our very thoughts are the incipient thoughts of God. And for some reason, it was when reading it a few nights ago, I felt what this really meant - what a breathtaking marvel this really is. No, not a dry idea, this, but the heart of creation, of everything, and our very thoughts the beginnings, the tell-tale signs of the Absolute coming forth like a frothing of atoms and molecules and electrons and so on, churning in an ordered chaos to become a universe. That is what we are. Imagine that. FK
