Dear E,

Thanks for your daily thought.

Today's offering reminds me of the Augustinian principle that "We love to the extent that we know, and we know to the extent that we love."

I see humankind is passing through an epistemological crisis, and Augustine shows the way out: The fundamental fusion of knowledge and love and the existential interdependence of both.
