Easter 2023 - The Monday Morning Memo

‘The Holy Church of Christ Without Christ’ is well-written and interesting. But in the end, Antonio García Martínez proved that he was doing exactly what he was mocking: “Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder ‘why, why, why?’ Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.” -Kurt Vonnegut, Cat’s Cradle

It is obvious that he is an NT (intuitive thinker,) because he loves to work out the puzzle of things and then share what he believes he has learned. Like all of us, Antonio García Martínez ‘got to tell himself he understand.’ But again, the scope of the essay is worthy of the great philosophers and good brother Martnez does know how to condense big ideas into a tight economy of words. But having followed his thesis from beginning to end, the private experiences of my life convince me to continue to believe in Jesus.

“Your infancy. What was it?”

“It was a wasp, dizzy with drink, banqueting to abandonment in the black mortuary juice of the September plum, where it throbbed and blundered. It was the cat-opened carcass of a pigeon – a silent murdered metropolis, roaring with maggots. It was the dried skeleton of the heretic spider, strung out on the wheel of its web, dead in the corner of my room for decades of dawns, a ghostly medieval martyr with the daylight showing through. It was the knots in the floorboards, charting the kingdoms of my childhood with their own special geography of fear, knots that ran along the beams like tigers, roaming the roofs and rafters, changing to cannibals, swarming down the walls and up the legs of the bed – the Anthropophagi, and men whose heads do grow beneath their shoulders.”

- Will. After 400 Years, Shakespeare Breaks His Silence, by Christopher Rush
