Heaven is expert at economy. — Edith Stein

Had it all gone as we’d planned it,
nothing would have happened. Homo
causa prima mali: man is evil’s
first cause. Just look around at
sin abounding all the more! How it all
contradicts, collapses, crunches
inexistence with each generation’s wane,
the debt inflated, the empiric phallus
drained of blood. When the Good comes
he’ll act in his own name because he
acts in the name of God, despite
his reflections. While, as for evil, it destroys
the material basis of its own will.
