In Need of a Good Peeling, All of Us
Posted by Wallace+
Verlyn Klinkenborg's column, "Really Looking," is a welcome and refreshing "witness to the moment," as he puts it. (This post takes its title from his mini essay.) Indeed, Klinkenborg opens my eyes on a regular basis.
And Raimon Panikkar, who died in recent days (and whose obituary
was published over the weekend), spent his entire life, it would seem,
opening the eyes of his fellow Christians; and the eyes of people of
other faiths as well, I'm sure. I had not read Panikkar previously, but
just what I read of him and his writing in his NYT obituary was
exhilarating.
I give thanks for Verlyn Klinkenborg, and for Raimon Panikkar, both in their own ways helping to open the eyes of humanity.
