Eternal Spring

A Haiku

Without the war with evil in its hour, there will never be the day of peace.

Unless there is a Good Friday in our lives, there will never be an Easter Sunday.

Unless there is the crown of thorns, there will never be the halo of light.

Unless there is the scourged body, there will never be the glorified body.

And there is the answer to the question of Easter.

—Fulton Sheen

He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

—Matthew 28:6

Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.

See, I am doing a new thing!

Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?

I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland.

—Isaiah 43: 18-19

Above: Every dawn marks a new beginning.

---

Daily, we perish.

Yet through His death, new life blooms—

Live your life anew!

Per my about page, White Noise is a work of experimentation. I view it as a sort of thinking aloud, a stress testing of my nascent ideas. Through it, I hope to sharpen my opinions against the whetstone of other people’s feedback, commentary, and input.

If you want to discuss any of the ideas or musings mentioned above or have any books, papers, or links that you think would be interesting to share on a future edition of White Noise, please reach out to me by replying to this email or following me on Twitter X.

With sincere gratitude,
