i'm an ass

Saint Francis called his body "Brother Ass". And this is C.S. Lewis commenting on that thought.

"Ass is exquisitely right because no one in his senses can either revere or hate a donkey. It is a useful, sturdy, lazy obstinate, patient, lovable and infuriating beast; deserving now the stick and now a carrot; both pathetically and absurdly beautiful. So the body. There's no living with it till we recognize that one of its functions is to play the part of buffoon."


May I live up to the example that an ass sets.

I just have lots of things to post about today. So rather than have an enourmous post I will have several smaller posts. Sorry readers.
