2015 Analecta

I am honored and flattered to be in...

Let me restate that, it is the coolest feeling being in this years Analecta at IU South Bend.

The editors have done an incredible job piecing together this years issue with admirable work from all fields of academia.

The cover is also too perfect...

Recollect and Collect

They often wear one color, a

solid color, chosen by the master.

This color reflects.

It actually reflects for safety. Just

like sealed meat in the depths

of a moldy cellar.

I’m being serious.

This young fellow (or woman)

gather metal specimens for a living.

Stop—this is to be highly praised.

I am pleased, just pleased with their

work. My eyes latch over thanksgiving

feast thanking the cart gatherers.

They are called the cart gatherers, right?

I love their orange hats and dark blue gloves.

They do me a great service indeed.

I take these things for granted too often.

It’s like how I take my nails for granted.

They protect my fingers like tiny

hard hats—that in reality can’t be yellow.

I take care of my nails don’t worry.

Oh son, one will loose its way—it is ever

so inevitable.  Like sheep they are.

Take care my dear fellow shepherds.
