"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."
Long before John Berendt and his Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, there were other writers associated withSavannah. Chief of these is Flannery O'Connor (1924-64), one of the South's greatest writers, author of Wise Blood (1952) and The Violent Bear It Away (1960).

"In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:"

"Great nations write their autobiographies in three manuscripts—the book of their deeds, the book of their words, and the book of their art. Not one of these books can be understood unless we read the two others; but of the three, the only quite trustworthy one is the last. The acts of a nation may be triumphant by its good fortune; and its words mighty by the genius of a few of its children: but its art, only by the general gifts and common sympathies of the race."~~~John Ruskin:St. Mark's rest; the history of Venice

Como habrán notado aquellos que se hayan tomado la molestia de revisar este blog, el mismo carece de juicios explícitos de mi parte. Esto es contrario a la norma en la mayor parte de los blogs, donde se prima la opinión y discusión. No obstante esta carencia de opinión explícita, en el blog se pone material que ilustra algún punto o tesis implícita, pero que sólo la imaginación del lector puede conectar. Para la mayor parte de los lectores puede parecer como un mero zambrote de ideas inconexas, he ahí la razón del nombre "potpourri" : olla donde se cuece un zancocho de marcada heterogeneidad. En realidad, estimado lector, más que discursivo o discusional, este blog es una especie de "trillo" señalizado, que debería permitirme una rápida consulta a aquellas pruebas que la vida siempre nos pone por delante y que debemos superar a partir de un fundamento. La superación de dichas pruebas depende en gran medida de la "solidez" del fundamento que nos sustente así como de nuestra habilidad y diligencia para encontrar las respuestas correctas en el contexto que nos depare la vida en ese momento. Como seres pensantes, en gran medida, una acción exitosa viene acompañada o precedida de un concepto adecuado que ilustre, conecte, señale, aclare, fortalezca o escude la acción o el actor. Este blog es una pequeña muestra de ese inquirir vital. Usted y yo señor lector somos los que le damos contenido al Puente. Eso es LEER!
