This is a piece I wrote early in the summer. It's on the sublime in Knut Hamsun's Pan. Those who subscribed to my Patreon page have seen it already but now it's open to everyone interested. Hope you enjoy it!

By thy gift, O Lord, we are set on fire, and are borne aloft: we burn, and we are on the way. We climb the ascents that are in the heart. With thy fire, with thy good fire, we burn and go on, for we go up to the peace of Jerusalem.

About suffering they were never wrong,
The Old Masters: how well they understood
Its human position; how it takes place
While someone else is eating or opening a window or just walking dully along

I should learn to look at an empty sky

Though this might take me a little time.

Dear friends, I wrote a piece in which I explain why I think reviving ancient views of phil life can work only partially for us today. I also explain why I think that bringing great books to the counseling table is the key to self-transformation. social-epistemology.com/2025/06/04/p...
