Today's gospel is awesome. The pharisees are being legalistic and abrasive- as usual. (There is some of this in all of us, no?) The Lord rebuke's them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath." This is a great passage, it brings us back to the divinity of God. Jesus is God and is our savior. Why be concerned with trivial matters when the Lamb of God is among us?
For me, this is a mystery. This whole thing is a mystery. Sometimes, I step back and say, "what the heck am I doing". But to emrace the mystery is to emrbace humanity, because even things we know for sure can be mysteries. I cannot conquer the world, but I can dive into this mystery before me.

Upon a reccolected state of reading prose, I have found that the Narrator in Walker Percy's MovieGoer, and I, look at certain things, namely: time, atmosphere, seasons, dispositions, relationship between climate, time of day and cultural situations and human emotions, the same.
"Yes it is true. We used to talk a bit about psychological make-ups and the effect of glands on our dismal dark behavior"
-Percy
"As for hobbies, people with stimulating hobbies suffer from the most noxious of despairs since they are tranquilized in their despair. I muse along as quietly as a ghost. Instead of trying to sleep I try to fathom the mystery of this suburb at dawn"
-Percy
Amazing, no?
