In Search of the Miraculous

 I was in search of it too. Not in Europe or India or anywhere below the seven spheres. Escape from the labyrinth of contradictions, leaving Philadelphia at the beginning of this journey was no road, but there was a way peril with blessing walked, their hands knit. While Mark Leon when to India, Karl Hillie to Dorethea Dix in the mix, I walked past the dragon reeds, to Glastonbury, up the Tor, into the Snowden mountains from the Puntarenas shore, took strides, made music and sounded up these accounts to tell. Don't tell. You can go where you want. Don't tell the miracles, come.

Spiritual Family Building the Spiritual house

Jakov, Jakov, Jakov all night Jakov, then Israel, a two natured parable. I was looking into patrimony, especially of my sister my spouse, her patrimony, her father’s prison camp accounts and its disposition, a ranch heritage, her mind, how as we spoke yesterday, she has so learned to care for others, with nobility, and therefore her sons’ patrimony I know a little of, a grandfather who kept a journal on cigarette papers in a Nazi prison camp and wrote of 50 years later in  a book, but before that in letters to his daughter in Wales, not what they experience whose strengths must come through on their own, as from EA Yeo as known of my own, and likewise as a spiritual Mennonite who enters flesh and community to account for it, with respect, and  lives it, as Jakov too, and some Israel.

Buber’s grandfather Buber was a direct descendant of the 16th-century rabbi Meir Katzenellenbogen Padua, Karl Marx another notable relative. After the divorce of Buber's parents when he was three years old, he was raised by his grandfather in Lvov. His grandfather, Solomon Buber, was a scholar of Midrash and Rabbinic Literature Geoffrey Hartmann’s maternal grandfather, a rabbi  wrote a dissertation on midrashim to the Book of Ruth, and Sartre’s mother of Alsatian origin and the first cousin of Nobel laureate Albert Schweitzer, Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness (French: Essai sur les données immédiates de la conscience) is Henri Bergson's doctoral thesis, first published in 1889. The essay deals with the problem of>free will, which Bergson contends is merely a common confusion among philosophers caused by an illegitimate translation of the unextended into the extended, as a means of introducing
