A reasonable beginning.

Still tired, as if I haven't waken fully.  Some small discomforts persist.  And yet the list is being whittled away.  The plants received more water and time to use or enjoy it.  Laundry was started.  After settind dishes to a hot soak and putting the plants on the shower curtain bar to enjoy more hot moisture, the laundry was rotated.  A vinegar run for the tea brewer, several as it will turn out, is on it's second run.  The rest of the kitchen just needs surfaces washed, to catch up.  Some of that will be messy but really not too bad.

Can I get through that and on to the front room?  As early as it is, possibly.  But two loads of laundry to fold/hang, a medium load of dishes which will take two washes to clean right, washing surfaces, plus a meal or two?  Hmm... maybe not.  If I do get to that room it will be just to vacate boxes, perhaps finish a minor step in the construction of the computer table.  The old one has to go.  Hmm... probably not if I will angle toward that.

I can't be sure if any visitors are familiar with St. Thomas Aquinas.  I know I have heard of him long before I was Catholic, or understood that I was.  Natural law, though other reasons, have drawn him to my attention since quite young.  Approaching his works, since he was Catholic, while I wasn't, was a tricky endeavor.  Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, these were more allowed if not as... they were obviously inferior, to my mind.  And, yet, he is Catholic, no "was" about it.  A seeming danger, betrayal, inside and out, more so when young and adults held more respected sway.  And yet vastly superior.

I have been finding various parts of his works before me since I was 12, perhaps as early as 10.  Wondering wandering thirsty daring minds always end up at certain doors.  A passive and yet not notion is that all roads lead to Rome.  As with much I often get the sense that, while I have been seeking, all my life, I keep finding a day late or a dollar short... or both.  Aside from that, opportunities seem to arise.


I have read some of St Aquinas' works, if not his grandest.  I have gotten a third the way through once, half another time.  Summa Theologica, quite a read.  Neither completed nor fully understood.  Some seemed correct, a bit gave me doubt, parts I didn't understand.  The way it is written means I may have not caught the correct, or his, gist, take.  Anyway, I found someone who is covering some of this, and well from what I am generally sensing.  Thought to share it,  just in case?  Thought not, for most.  Still, can't say I never offered you this.

Supper is crisping.  Later.
