I like the way that Weil percolated within you for so long to emerge at the opportune moment in grad school. I’m grateful for this small network of Simones in relationship across time
To me this read as a story of a soul and as a 71 year old father of two, now adult daughters, I took a particular pleasure in reading your early encounters with Weil through your mother's portrait and your enjoyment of words that you could not yet understand.
I have recently ordered a copy of your Ecologies of Ecstasy, partly on the recommendation of Mark Vernon, partly because I have recently begun to develop a friendship with a group of young men who are intentionally exploring a Christian spiritual path by using plant medicine like Ayahuasca and who will be leading a retreat in Mexico later in the year based upon this exploration.
I look forward to both reading your work and to my own exploration. Thank you.
This is beautiful! Although I heard some of it before, I am so pleased to have understood its (current) entirety. Your outline of the relationship between scholarly thought, spiritual practice and personal heritage is both instructive and inspiring. Thank you!

Thank you!!
Fascinating! What was it that your parents liked so much about Weil? Also, what do you mean when you say Weil had incurable Antigone complex?
