This is my brand spankin’ new blog.  It’s going to be pretty different from my other blog and very, very different from the Big Ole Blue Homepage of days of yore and my other anonymous blog which hasn’t been updated since December.

 This is going to be a reading and reaction blog.  The plan is this.  I read a work by a Christian mystic or other spiritual writer and blog about it.  No commentary on current events, no essays, no dopey quizzes, no dumb blog of the week.

 I’ve been having the most difficulty with trying to fill out my blogroll.  Most are ones I’ve cribbed off of A Thinking Reed, the Methodist blogroll (though I’m only through D at the time of writing), chogblog or found through search engines.  If anybody has any others they can recommend, please lemme know.

I thought the natural place to start would be at the beginning.  So I’m kicking the blog off with a series on The Mystical Theology by Pseudo-Dionysious, translated by Colm Luibheid and Paul Rorem (with other stuff by Rene Roques, Jaroslav Pelikan, Jean LeClerq and Karlfried Froehlich) in the Classics of Western Spirituality series published by Paulist.   Thanks to Lee & Abby for getting me the book in the first place!
