I like Chesterton's conception of hope as something more active than passive.
Pen: Esterbrook Estie EF nib
Ink: Birmingham Pens Blue Ribbon
Paper: Midori MD Paperpad cottonI like this pen, but the nib is a good deal too broad for my tastes. I'm hoping I can try a very dry ink and see if the line becomes a bit finer.

Reflexiones. G.K. Chesterton
¿Acaso no es locura creer que podemos conocer la realidad y relacionarnos con los demás sólo a través de la razón? ¿No es esta en gran medida la enfermedad de la modernidad tecnológica?
El hombre loco no es el hombre que ha perdido la razón, es el hombre que ha perdido todo excepto su razón.G.K. Chesterton

Today's society would be better if more people believed this.
Pen: Monteverde Rodeo Drive
Nib: Nemosine 0.6mm stub
Ink: Unknown Ferris Wheel Press
Paper: Midori MD Paperpad CottonI don't know the specific ink. I bought the ink in a shop and carelessly threw out the box. Apparently Ferris Wheel doesn't label their bottles.

“…all of us…are primarily interested in murder and love-making.” #gkchesterton ~20BOS26 Book 21
I've always been fond of a good essay, and a search through the archives of the Ramblings would no doubt reveal a number of essay collections I've covered. Some of these would have been via indie publisher Michael Walmer's 'Belles-Lettres' series (Oscar Wilde, Winifred Holtby and Ouida) and so I was delighted to see that Mike was issuing a new book in the series - …

The real trouble with this world of ours is not that it is an unreasonable world, nor even that it is a reasonable one. The commonest kind of trouble is that it is nearly reasonable, but not quite. Life is not an illogicality; yet it is a trap for logicians. It looks just a little more mathematical and regular than it is; its exactitude is obvious, but its inexactitude is hidden; its wildness lies in wait.
-- G. K. Chesterton (Orthodoxy) -
"One sees great things from the valley, only small things from the peak." - G.K. Chesterton. Perspective shapes how we see success.

A quotation from G. K. Chesterson
For there are two ways of dealing with nonsense in this world. One way is to put nonsense in the right place; as when people put nonsense into nursery rhymes. The other is to put nonsense in the wrong place; as when they put it into educational addresses, psychological criticisms, and complaints against nursery rhymes or other normal amusements of mankind.
Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) English journalist and writer
Essay (1921-10-15), “Child Psychology and Nonsense,” closing words, Illustrated London News, “Our Notebook” columnMore info about this quote: wist.info/chesterton-gilbert-k…

Interesting analysis of Dorothy Day and G.K. Chesterton's writings on gratitude, exploring how both thinkers viewed appreciation as a starting point rather than a conclusion. The commentary examines their belief that genuine gratitude opens pathways to deeper spiritual and intellectual engagement with the world. #DorothyDay #GKChesterton #CatholicIntellectuals #Gratitude #Philosophy #SocialJustice

Love
The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him.
