The Well At The World's End

It is no mystery: Kant and Thought's Hutterite Mile

On Good Friday, we recall the suffering of our Lord, who descended to the depths of fire and darkness to lift us from the confines of our self-enclosed prisons.
We continually turn away, but He continually reaches out to us, grasping for us amidst the slings and whips of our hearts and minds. He opens the gates of Heaven, the prison walls of our intellects, allowing us to embrace the beauty of mystery. This mystery is a gift often neglected by the modern mind whose gaze is so intently focused on the freedom enabled by this mystery. That freedom was so articulately explored and expressed by Kant, a brilliant thinker who bequethed to our world so many treasures. But without the mystery, these treasures rust and decay. The following is a montage of music and images designed to evoke the emotion and consequences of Kant's legacy.

Where Have You Hidden, Beloved?

I've been a bit busy of late working on my dissertation, teaching, and making videos; I have a few things I want to soon write upon for the blog, but the inspiration has not been there just yet.

For this week, I thought I would provide one of my spirituality-related videos, and the one which has had the most positive response by its viewers. The song by John Michael Talbot, based upon a poem of St John of the Cross, is about the longing of the soul for Christ.

And Now For Something Different....

I got a copy of Windows Movie Maker this week, and decided to experiment with it. I put together a tribute to the Inklings, highlighting their most influential works (The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia), their friendship, and the love that C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien had for their wives. Be sure to spot: J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Owen Barfield, Charles Williams, Warnie Lewis, Christopher Tolkien, Edith Tolkien and Joy Gresham!
