I'm still plowing through articles and sources for a paper on St. Augustine's De Trinitate, but I think I've got the basic outline in my head. I had originally glommed on to his analogies (which occupy much of the book's second half), but things get technical very quickly in the secondary sources. So I've broadened my scope and will (briefly) survey the before-and-after of Trinitarian thought, including the so-called East/West split.

Boreal chorus frog, according to Seek. Also showing a bit outside its normal range.
Pivoting between two piles of reading this evening: Origen on martyrdom to one side; articles/sources for a paper on Augustine’s De Trinitate to the other. So anyway, where’s the nearest desert?
Today was a strong-cocktail-before-dinner sort of day. This is a Boulevardier, which is basically a Negroni with bourbon. Dinner is a cassoulet of Italian sausage, gnocchi, and copious amounts of the garlic we harvested.
Tonight’s food pic is an Asian-style mushroom omelet, also from Milk Street. There’s supposed to be some green in there but we’re out of scallions and cilantro. :/

One more bit of AI-artwork in honor of St. Meinrad Archabbey. I also thought these turned out beautiful.
AI-generated artwork is occasionally amazing stuff.
