"Space offers us something to love, but time steals away what we love and leaves in the soul crowds of phantasms which incite desire for this or that. Thus the mind becomes restless and unhappy, vainly trying to hold that by which it is held captive. It is summoned to stillness so that it may not love the things which cannot be loved without toil.”
The trick, Augustine says, is to learn to love what you'll lose.

“Our tendency to sync to something other than God's kingdom time makes ongoing liturgical recalibration necessary. This is especially true, I believe, if we are going to be animated by a properly eschatological orientation to the future. Hope takes practice.”

Smith is always fun to read. Surprised to find a positive religious reference to Heidegger in the opening - that’s rare these days, so I’m curious to see how this plays out.

I might have to read this one. Reading Deloria Jr.'s book in part because of Jennings lecture and the concept of time vs. space. Deloria challenges how the western view of time denigrates the indigenous experience of space. Lots to learn here.

I think you might enjoy this then. It’s nowhere near my favourite of his books (feels like he wrote it while on a road trip - very scattered and random), but there are really thought provoking moments in it still.
