The Living Centrifuge

I'm reading it right now, and it took a bit to get into, but it's exquisite. My memory of the utter luminous beauty of the aristotelean worldview tends to dull if I don't keep up my reading in that direction. But this has reminded me how exquisite it really is. I'm glad I have the chance to revisit this type of work. You can see, when you read this, why Christianity is attractive. It's gorgeous. I'm especially moved right now by the idea that a vow is a gift. God gives his highest gift, free will, only to the angels and to humans, and the making of a vow means that you give your free will to someone else. It makes the weight of a vow much heavier if you think of it like that. And so when (if ) I get proposed to, I will consider very carefully whether I'm willing to make that vow. Just a short one today.

And the other thing is that I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go through the sacraments when I move.
