Mourning is not his default temperament.\r\n\r\nHe writes to his fellow man about the cyclical nature of this fall of mankind. \r\n\r\nHe writes of these ruins as a foundation to rebuild a greater mankind.\r\n\r\nHe writes of these ruins as the catalyst of a post-modern Renaissance. \r\n\r\nThis is not a Renaissance of resurrecting a zeitgeist-laced, “former golden era,” in a futile attempt to recapture “what was lost.”\r\n\r\nThis is a Renaissance of understanding that frameworks not bound by time and space are what were forgotten in our fall.\r\n\r\nThese are the same frameworks that when honored, can rebuild a world with a far stronger integrity and an expression that is uniquely our own. \r\n\r\nThe Blood & Rain Podcast\r\n\r\nEpisode 50\r\n\r\nThe Letters From The Ruins ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/u6hl8fuwwB18Aywm2kAv2kp28Yj8htMvLszwTACyDnM/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIxNzE3LzE2MjI3/NzQ5ODktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
