Percy-L: Literary, Religious, Scientific, and Philosophical Discussion of Walker Percy

[Lauren Berdy <lauren.stacy.berdy AT gmail.com>]

Yes

Insightful 

But

How do we know the author doesn’t go home and kick the cat?

Words somehow are loosing their transmission 

After all, we end at our fingertips 

Trump is an apparition of our shadow selves

He is us and we have this in us

And

It is beyond revealing 

But don’t stop there

Dr Percy taught us to suck crayfish with everyone 

 the possibility for transcendence

Happens when you least know it
