\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I notice that in the Lutheran church today is the feast of the I just can\u2019t quite say saint Soren Kierkegaard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Truthfully I just love the layers of irony contained in that simple fact of his having a feast day in the Lutheran church\u2026<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
And I recall my fervent youth and how important he was to me while first trying to find my way. God, he was important.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bless the noble heart,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
and the fierce quest,<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
and very much, thank you, Soren for showing how one may make the great leap from this very place\u2026<\/div>\n
