Just found your book Julian and I am very much enjoying it so far. When I explain math to my children I tell them, 'There are two roads between what is inside of you and the outside world.

Just found your book Julian and I am very much enjoying it so far. When I explain math to my children I tell them, 'There are two roads between what is inside of you and the outside world. Math and Art. You have to use one or both of these roads to get things from the outside in or from the inside out.'
The real tragedy of Bruno's story to me is that it was the Church that killed a man for seeing, killed many men for seeing. The old medieval concept of the Two Swords-the spiritual and the worldly, and the need to keep these two swords out of the same hands, is very helpful here. Our ancestors grappled with a church that had overrun the state and seized its power, we grapple with a state, and its scientific and media handmaidens, that has overrun the church and is making a new one according to its own brainless ideas. Two sides of the same rotten coin. We live in a world of blind men and I can't help but think of the Lord's words to their ancestors so long ago, 'If you said you were blind you would have no sin, but because you say 'I see' your sin remains.'
