Percy and Annabeth + (x) + the look of love

[jsydbrantley]

Do you ever feel like you just don’t know who you are? One of my favorite authors is Walker Percy, and he was never afraid to ask the tough questions. The ones that float around in our heads all the time that we never ask out loud because we don’t want anyone to know we think them. Well this quote is in honor of him. I’m probably (hopefully not) halfway through my life. Unless someone pulls a futurama and puts my head in a jar. Although I’m not sure I want that. And I sure as heck don’t know who I am and I’d posit that many a soul on their deathbed at 100 don’t know either. I believe it’s a truth of life. Defining our existence is not the point, not as much as the journey is. * * * #writers_creed #writerscreed #teacup13 #poeticstories #twcpoetry #illustrans #blotchedpoems #jsydspoetry #whoami #whatami #walkerpercy #existence #poetryisnotdead #doyouknowwhoiam #futurama

“It is possible, however, that the artist is both thin-skinned and prophetic and, like the canary lowered into the mine shaft to test the air, has caught a whiff of something lethal.” #walkerpercy #american #author #philosophy #semiotics #southerner #themoviegoer #loveinruins #thelastselfhelpbook #deathanniversary #practicedying (at Akron, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxR-IaDg1EI/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fqoqq3181ksp

Now in these dread latter days of the old violent beloved U.S.A. and of the Christ-forgetting Christ-haunted death-dealing Western world I came to myself in a grove of young pines and the question came to me: has it happened at last?
