I received my draft notice the Saturday of Woodstock.
Here's a salutation to my fellow draftees, all of whom were sacrificed by evil for evil.
from Ezra Pound's "Hugh Selwyn Mauberly":
There died a myriad,
And of the best, among them,
For an old bitch gone in the teeth,
For a botched civilization
"The Lord dwells in the hearts of all creatures
TURN ON ~ TUNE IN ~ DROP OUT
"Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof." — Matthew 6:34
Rudolf Steiner: "The power needed to overcome the evil will yield a power that can reach the heights of holiness. A field has to be treated with manure and the manure has to ferment in the soil; similarly, humanity needs the manure of evil in order to attain to the highest holiness. And herein lies the mission of evil. A man’s muscles get strong by use; and equally, if good is to rise to the heights of holiness, it must first overcome the evil which opposes it. The task of evil is to promote the ascent of man."

Rudolf Steiner: "But this very pain, this tragedy, contains the most precious seeds of the new, constructive life that has to be built up in the midst of our decaying culture. For the truth is that everything in life that flowers and bears fruit is an outgrowth of pain and suffering."
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. — Job 23:10

Not I, but Christ in me |
"In the world ye shall have tribulation:
but be of good cheer;
I have overcome the world."
— John 16:33

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. |
