Soul Food: Week of March 12, 2023

“Soul Food” is a regularly updated calendar of meditations sometimes questioning conventional wisdom & often suggesting eternal values

Sunday: Why is it that we have to accept the world we were born into? Why can’t we make it a better one? Lorenzo di Medici: The Magnificent

Monday: Man is born … to work at magnificent & large scale tasks, thereby pleasing & honoring God. Alberti

Tuesday: Do not squander time. That is the stuff life is made of. Sign in “Gone With The Wind”

Wednesday: The liberal arts owe their name to the fact that they liberate man & make him master of himself in a free world of free spirits. Bruni

Thursday: Quid tum. Meaning “So what?” or “What’s next?”

Friday: “I don’t get it.” Famous last words, meaning “I want to know.”

Saturday: People break down into 2 groups. When they experience something lucky, group number 1 sees it as more than luck, more than coincidence. They see it as a sign, evidence, that there is someone up there watching out for them. Group number 2 sees it as just pure luck. Graham Hess, in “Signs”
