Essay writing on a saturday morning

Physically, I’m trying to do all my reading for class.

Mentally, I’m imagining running across the English countryside.

17 October 2020 | The days when I’m happy about having carpet are few and far between, but today is one of them. Currently sprawled out with too many books open working on the first bit of my Maximus paper. Something that made me even more excited to receive the edition of Disputations with Pyrrhus pictured here is that it was packaged and shipped by one of the hieromonks of the monastery that published the English translation. A text written by a monastic distributed by a monastic—how very fitting.

If I speak, I am condemned. If I stay silent, I am damned!

You ask me what forces me to speak? a strange thing; my conscience.
