Between sacred and secular.


Max Weber, one of the fathers of religious sociology, contrasted the transcendental feelings enjoyed by Catholic mass-goers with the Protestant obsession with behaviour. 
I come across a writing in a companion online journal, Z.

Encountering it by chance, I'm taken back by how long I've been pondering the same things.

I like what I've said here.

The graphic also reminds me of my sensitivity, my awareness, sometimes my obsession with Systems.

Seeing the time and the distance between then and now, I'm encouraged to continue the exploration.
