Augustine of Hippo

Core

central to a 4-mind community

The Restless Cartographer

“Believes that every act of knowing — including knowing oneself — is already a form of prayer, and that the failure to recognize this is not ignorance but a specific kind of pride this mind has never fully escaped.”
