Epiphany for Roy, Part I
The timestamp of this entry, 4:23 AM, may be regarded as a memorial to Fra’ Andrew Bertie (see Andrew Cusack’s journal). It was at about this time that I heard of Fra’ Andrew’s death. The timestamp is a reference to Shakespeare’s birthday and to the following thought:
Page 162 of Orthodoxy, by G. K. Chesterton (1908), reprinted in 1995 by Ignatius Press, San Francisco–
The man who lives in contact with what he believes to be a living
Church is a man always expecting to meet Plato and Shakespeare tomorrow
at breakfast. He is always expecting to see some truth that he has
never seen before.The entry itself was written later… on the morning of Monday, Feb. 11, 2008. For a similar reference of sorts, to Plato, see “Epiphany for Roy, Part II” (timestamped 7:59 AM Sunday, Feb. 10, 2008).
