“All human wisdom is contained in these two words: wait and hope.” The Count of Monte Cristo, Alexandre Dumas

The world needs honest and courageous entrepreneurs and communicators who care for the common good. We sometimes hear the saying: “Business is business!” In reality, it is not so. No one is absorbed by an organization to the point of becoming a mere cog or a simple function. Nor can there be true humanism without a critical sense, without the courage to ask questions: "Where are we going? For whom and for what are we working? How are we making the world a better place?"

Incredible how social media has made it so easy to convince yourself that being unable to hold a mature conversation with anyone you disagree with is actually a sign of your moral superiority. This thing is the most powerful tool for self-induced delusions.

Awaiting Resurrection

Love conquers death. In love, God will gather us together with our loved ones. And, if we journey together in charity, our very lives become a prayer rising up to God, uniting us with the departed, drawing us closer to them as we await to meet them again in the joy of eternal life. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

“History is made by human actions and thoughts, not by irresistible abstract imperatives; and Providence ordinarily operates through human agents. The world is ruled by imagination.” — Russell Kirk, 1985

Farewell Kirktober 🕯️

Sunshine and approaching rain

if you asked me to explain why everyone has gone crazy, i think the loss of collective history is a big piece of it. you exist in an eternal chain of history that is worth studying, preserving, and deeply loving. modernity isn't different, you don't exist outside of time

Everyone should come and experience it in person at the @KirkCenter where we keep the tradition alive!

Wishing you a Kirkian Autumn!

Spotting @kathrynlopez, George Nash, Jeff Nelson, and @darrellfalconbu on stage and a preview for @DylanPahman’s new book “Kingdom of God and the Common Good”!

Recalling a great William F. Buckley Anniversary!

“The past is never dead. It’s not even past. All of us labor in webs spun long before we were born, webs of heredity and environment, of desire and consequence, of history and eternity.” William Faulkner, born 25th September 1897
