ab initio

The motivation for this blog is a meditation on my current state of health in light of the prime directive of ethics -- what ought I to do.

I am doing this for pleasure and for my grandchildren. It is a matter I find of great importance.

It is an act I can do regardless of my current state of health -- up to a point.

It has roots in Lives of the Saints by Richard P McBrien.

How can I run from [my body] when it will be my companion at the resurrection? - John Climacus LotS p.148

Lord, let me live until I die ... to live, love, and serve fully until death comes.

I don't make sense of suffering; I try to make sense of life. - Thea Bowman FSPA LotS p.149
