"Existence is set against itself, out of joint, the rocks that are and the men that wait. Whenever our frailty is articulated to usurpatious timekeepers, they declare geologic time enemy of purpose, enemy of history, enemy of liturgical time. The numbers of the Earth have an inhuman scale and no line, no telos, holds firm in such dimensions. The heresy of stones offends both history and faith by its immeasurability."
from Depositions by Antonio Iannarone
