As we collected Cauldron. A writer from these works, we noticed a strong desire to confront, evaluate, and the extended Kalamazoo to simply look. We are at a point in history where there is much community judges the pieces uncertainty surrounding our future and our present. This uncertainty blindly. This year’s judge is bleeds into all things social, political, and emotional. And as you can Bruce Lack. see here, it bleeds into our art. In certain ways, we have found ourselves in a world where “...no The recipients of this year’s one looks past the leaves to the stem, the roots, to the full extent…” Divine Crow Awards are much like the plant in Jamie Misevich’s “Mimosa Pudica: A plant that im always running myself over trying to murder my transness by Caro plays dead when touched”, the first piece in the collection. Mimosa Peterson, Mid-Autumn by Serena Bonarski, Siren by Na Young Kim. Pudica longs to live in a world where her name will be remembered. We feel the works submitted to this year’s edition hear that call, and are fighting for a world where all names, identities, and stories will not just be heard, but embraced. Annah Freudenburg’s “Crux Hands” is a visual depiction of this embracing. We would like to think of this as both a metaphorical and literal reaching out–to our pasts, presents, futures, and to one anoth- er. We can see this concept being enacted in works such as Serena STEPHANIE VIBBERT AWARD** Bonarski’s “Mid-Autumn” where myth is the vehicle used to reach out and in Rumsha’s Sajid’s “My Pledge” where reaching out to others The Stephanie Vibbert Award becomes an active form of justice. is given to one work which Our cover art “Stained” is a photograph of a single pane contain- exemplifies the intersection ing smaller, individual pieces of stained glass.

She is often called The Sensitive Jamie Misevich deadwhentouched plays A plantthat PUDICA MIMOSA Plant, though her real name is Mimosa Pudica. She gravitates toward the imaginary, but the world in her head is no more real to her than the world where anyone could be a predator. The real world disregards her flower to poke at her delicate leaves. I remember a field trip when I was young where she was held up in front of the class and prodded, her movement the object of everyone’s attention. In the real world no one looks past the leaves to the stem, the roots, to the full extent of her existence. As she considers the problem it occurs to her that perhaps she is incapable of being touched without shutting down. Perhaps she is the only one she can leave herself open around. Perhaps she would better off where the wind is the only real thing that could touch her, and the rest could happen in her head, where her name could be remembered.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.

  • Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation
    Empire of Hope and Tragedy: Jordanes and the Invention of Roman-Gothic History Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Brian Swain Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2014 Dissertation Committee: Timothy Gregory, Co-advisor Anthony Kaldellis Kristina Sessa, Co-advisor Copyright by Brian Swain 2014 Abstract This dissertation explores the intersection of political and ethnic conflict during the emperor Justinian’s wars of reconquest through the figure and texts of Jordanes, the earliest barbarian voice to survive antiquity. Jordanes was ethnically Gothic - and yet he also claimed a Roman identity. Writing from Constantinople in 551, he penned two Latin histories on the Gothic and Roman pasts respectively. Crucially, Jordanes wrote while Goths and Romans clashed in the imperial war to reclaim the Italian homeland that had been under Gothic rule since 493. That a Roman Goth wrote about Goths while Rome was at war with Goths is significant and has no analogue in the ancient record. I argue that it was precisely this conflict which prompted Jordanes’ historical inquiry. Jordanes, though, has long been considered a mere copyist, and seldom treated as an historian with ideas of his own. And the few scholars who have treated Jordanes as an original author have dampened the significance of his Gothicness by arguing that barbarian ethnicities were evanescent and subsumed by the gravity of a Roman political identity. They hold that Jordanes was simply a Roman who can tell us only about Roman things, and supported the Roman emperor in his war against the Goths.

F. D. MAURICE, M.A. (1848) The writer of this play does not differ with his countrymen generally, as to the nature and requirements of a Drama. He has learnt from our Great Masters that it should exhibit human beings engaged in some earnest struggle, certain outward aspects of which may possibly be a spectacle for the amusement of idlers, but which in itself is for the study and the sympathy of those who are struggling themselves. A Drama, he feels, should not aim at the inculcation of any definite maxim; the moral of it lies in the action and the character. It must be drawn out of them by the heart and experience of the reader, not forced upon him by the author. The men and women whom he presents are not to be his spokesmen; they are to utter themselves freely in such language, grave or mirthful, as best expresses what they feel and what they are.

Chesnut CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 3 QUOTES “The two greatest obstacles to democracy in the United States are, first, the widespread delusion among the poor that we have a de- mocracy, and second, the chronic terror among the rich, lest we get it.” Edward Dowling, Chicago Daily News, July 28, 1941. Father Ed rejoiced that in “moving therapy from the expensive clinical couch to the low-cost coffee bar, from the inexperienced professional to the informed amateur, AA has democratized sani- ty.”1 “At one Cana Conference he commented, ‘No man thinks he’s ug- ly. If he’s fat, he thinks he looks like Taft. If he’s lanky, he thinks he looks like Lincoln.’”2 Edward Dowling, S.J., of the Queen’s Work staff, says, “Alcohol- ics Anonymous is natural; it is natural at the point where nature comes closest to the supernatural, namely in humiliations and in consequent humility. There is something spiritual about an art mu- seum or a symphony, and the Catholic Church approves of our use of them. There is something spiritual about A.A. too, and Catholic participation in it almost invariably results in poor Catholics be- coming better Catholics.” Added as an appendix to the Big Book in 1955.3 CHESNUT — FATHER ED DOWLING — PAGE 4 “‘God resists the proud, assists the humble. The shortest cut to humility is humiliations, which AA has in abundance.

  • “The Greatest Gift Is the Realization That Life Does Not Consist Either In
    “The greatest gift is the realization that life does not consist either in wallowing in the past or peering anxiously into the future; and it is appalling to contemplate the great number of often painful steps by which ones arrives at a truth so old, so obvious, and so frequently expressed. It is good for one to appreciate that life is now. Whatever it offers, little or much, life is now –this day-this hour.” Charles Macomb Flandrau Ernest Hemingway drank here. Cuban revolutionaries Fidel Castro and Che Guevera drank here. A longhaired young hippie musician named Jimmy Buffett drank and performed here, too. From the 1930’s through today this rustic dive bar has seen more than its share of the famous and the infamous. It’s a little joint called Capt. Tony’s in Key West, Florida. Eighty-seven-year-old Anthony ‘Capt. Tony’ Tarracino has been the owner and proprietor of this boozy establishment since 1959. It seems Tony, as a young mobster, got himself into some serious trouble with ‘the family’ back in New Jersey and needed to lay low for a while. In those days, the mosquito invested ‘keys’ (or islands) on the southernmost end of Florida’s coastline was a fine place for wise guys on the lam to hide out. And this was well before the tee-shirt shops, restaurants, bars, art galleries, charming B&B’s and quaint hotels turned Key West into a serious year-round tourist destination. Sure, there were some ‘artsy’ types like Hemingway and Tennessee Williams living in Key West during the late 50’s when Tony bought the bar, but it was a seaside shanty town where muscular hard-working men in shrimp boats and cutters fished all day for a living.

  • What Wondrous Love Is This
    WHAT WONDROUS LOVE IS THIS Lakewood Congregational Church Lakewood, Ohio Holy Week through the second Sunday of Easter April 5 – 19, 2020 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul, what wondrous love is this, O my soul! What wondrous love is this that caused my Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul, to bear the dreadful curse for my soul! When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down, sinking down; when I was sinking down beneath God’s righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul! Appalachian folk tune, no known author, composer or date Our beloved community has been exploring wondrous love. During late summer 2019, Pastor Joanna suggested a focus on the carol, Joy to the World, for LCC’s Advent-Epiphany devotional. Our theme was, “The Wonders of His Love.” As we embark on our Holy Week and Easter journey, “What Wondrous Love is This,” will accompany us. The first two verses are above and the remaining two verses will join us on Easter Sunday. Through all the changes, new habits, grief and joys since Advent, there is a personal and a global constant. We remain children of God, forgiven and beloved. What wondrous love is this, o my soul! Your writers are Vance Awa, Cora Barcelona, Paul Deal, Judy Foote, Stephanie Fries, Meghan Galloway, Jim Gibbs, Michael Greenland, Tim Hampton, Joanellen Hurley, Patti Komperda, Vickie Smigelski, Sue Tamilio, Karen Wagner, and Greg Wereb.
