Aristotle declares that the origin of reason is not reason but something better.
Aristotle declares that the origin of reason is not reason but something better.
Love and reason seem to be strange bedfellows but recall how we reached this point. Our wings have been the wings of thought. We have followed Emerson, one of the greatest intellects of his day and found, not a parched landscape, but a verdant forest teaming with life. The path of the intellect only leads to the dry land when it is followed incompletely, or with the wrong intent. The dry land exits, but it is not the destination we find when we follow our genius, when we choose Yes. Yes is not a dry choice. It may not be an easy choice, but it is not dry. Reason, when honestly followed leads, inevitably to its source.
